I get an error below.

@mcauto, I am not familiar with Conan. For anything specific to Conan, it might make sense to seek help from their support channels.

Are you able to build the package using in the cmake instructions in the README.md file?

I think this pull/4666 is not successful.
Conan install not working.
@fcelda Could you check this issue..?

[fcelda]

@mcauto I can't tell if your CmakeFiles.txt or conanfile.py is correct. For my own projects, I specify the requirements via conanfile.txt and that works. I just tried following the official Getting Started documentation and it works as well.

I do not deny there could be something wrong with the Conan recipe but you will likely have to figure it out with someone from the Conan community. There is a #conan channel in the cpplang Slack if you need some real-time mean to talk about the issue.

Thanks, @fcelda! I am going to go ahead and close this. If it turns out there is a change to our cmake configuration that can improve our support for Conan or a particular platform, I am happy to reopen, but right now there is not enough information for this to be actionable on our side.
