Purpose

The plugin aims to provide basic integration with conan C/C++package manager.

Main features:
* direct integration via Gradle DSL (without conan.txt and generation step)
* separate packages list for test
* shared version of package can be used with runtime dependency
* support of multiple options for each package
* automatic build of debug package version for MSVC
* integration of project toolchain and C++ standard
* compatible with IDE generation plugin and compilation database generator

Required plugins

The cpp-conan requires to work other Gradle core plugins: cpp-application/cpp-library/cpp-unit-test.

Environment setup

Install conan in your system follow official instruction (make sure that it available via PATH)
Create profile by conan profile detect

Usage

plugins {
    `cpp-application`
    `cpp-unit-test`

    id("net.sf.loggersoft.cpp-conan") version "0.1"
}

Configuration

conan {
    //requires("zstd") version "1.5.6" option ("shared" to "true")
    //requires("zstd") version "1.5.6" shared true
    requires("zstd") version "1.5.6"

    requires("boost") version "1.86.0" option ("zstd" to "false") option ("lzma" to "false")

    //requires("bzip2") version "1.0.8"
    //requires("boost") version "1.70.0#revision2"
    //requires("poco") version "[>1.0 <1.9]" option ("shared" to "true")

    //testRequires("gtest") version "1.15.0" shared true
    testRequires("gtest") version "1.15.0"

    build = "~zlib"
    //remote = "https://center2.conan.io"
    //offline = true
}

requires - the package dependency with mandatory version and arbitrary options as pairs of string key/value. Option shared can be passed in this way: shared true/false.
testRequires - the package dependency required only for test (e.g. gtest). Format is the same with requires.
build - the build policy, for more details see here.
remote - look in the specified remote server(s), for more details see here.
offline - do not use remote, resolve exclusively in the cache.
