Conan package manager

Conan 1.0.0 required

As of OpenGeoSys 6.1.0 Conan version 1.0.0 is required! Please update Conan by running pip install --upgrade conan or by downloading the Windows installer.

The Conan package manager helps to install all required libraries in a convenient way on every platform. See Setup pre-requisites for installation instructions. If the Conan executable is found Conan is used for third-party library handling. Set the CMake option OGS_USE_CONAN=OFF to disable Conan.

Advanced usage

Per default when Conan is enabled it will try to fetch prebuilt binaries from the OGS Conan repository at https://ogs.jfrog.io/ogs/api/conan/conan. With the CMake option OGS_CONAN_BUILD you define what gets build locally. This option can be set to:

  • missing - Default, only builds packages which are not available as a prebuilt binary for the current configuration
  • all - Builds all packages locally
  • never - Builds no package locally
  • [a list of libraries to build], e.g. "Eigen3;Boost". For names see ConanSetup.cmake. Make sure to set this back to ‘never’ after the libs have been built. Otherwise it would rebuild the libs on the next CMake run.
