Conan Recipe

First step is to figure out which GR dependencies are already in conan-center and which aren't

• libboost-all-dev - boost/1.65.1@conan/stable
• libgmp-dev - gmp/6.1.2
• doxygen - doxygen/1.8.18
• libfftw3-dev - fftw/3.3.8
• libsdl1.2-dev - libsdl2 has a recipe, but we might not need this anyway
• libgsl-dev - only needed for gr-wavelet which we could disable
• libqwt-qt5-dev - check out https://github.com/kenfred/conan-qwt not sure if it will work
• libqt5opengl5-dev - no idea if this is included in some other qt5 recipe
• liblog4cpp5-dev - log4cplus/2.0.4
• libzmq3-dev - zmq/4.2.5@bincrafters/stable
• gir1.2-gtk-3.0 - (is this needed?)

Stuff I had to do to get this to work:

• conan remote add bincrafters https://api.bintray.com/conan/bincrafters/public-conan
• conan profile update settings.compiler.libcxx=libstdc++11 default
• edit ~/.conan/conan.conf and uncomment the line sysrequires_mode = enabled

The build process is the same except you do

1. conan install .. (which installs the dependencies and sets up cmake)
2. cmake ..
3. make
4. make install

When the "conan install .." command runs, settings in ~/.conan/profiles/default file are applied, which might get fishy. you can also change stuff via cmd args "conan config install" is designed to share these settings/profiles with others

generate a pretty graph of dependency tree with:

conan info .. --graph=file.html

Search for recipes in conan-center with:

conan search "*xyz*" --remote=conan-center
