conan-configuration

Stores Conan configuration which is common to all our build images.

The configuration from this repository can be installed using the conan config install command, see https://docs.conan.io/en/latest/reference/commands/consumer/config.html#conan-config-install

conan config install http://github.com/ess-dmsc/conan-configuration.git

Beware, installing this configuration will delete any other other remotes you may have configured.

This is not necessary for conan2, but the packages are built with conan recipes in v1 format, and so pip install conan<2 (or similar) must be used

The important things done by installing this configuration are:

setting the remotes to the ones we use in our projects
adding the compiler.libc setting for gcc and clang, so that packages can be built against glibc or musl, this is useful for builds on Alpine Linux where musl is used.

Conan2 uses remotes.json and completely ignores remotes.txt, as per https://docs.conan.io/1/migrating_to_2.0/config_files.html#remotes-txt and conan v1 will already use this if present

If you update settings.yml using one automatically generated by Conan then make sure you retain this change:

compiler:
  ...
  gcc:
    ...
    libc: [None, glibc, musl]
  clang:
    ..
    libc: [None, glibc, musl]
