example

Here is an example how to build a project with conan-boost.

1. write a conanfile.txt

   [requires]
   Boost/1.63.0@kbinani/develop
   
   [options]
   Boost:shared=true # false
   # write custom options here. see `package specific options` section for detail
   
   [generators]
   cmake
   

2. write a CMakeLists.txt

   project(example)
   cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8)
   set(CMAKE_MODULE_PATH ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR})
   include(conanbuildinfo)
   conan_basic_setup()
   add_executable(example main.cpp)
   target_link_libraries(example ${CONAN_LIBS})

3. create out-of-source build directory

   mkdir debug32

4. install packages

   cd debug32
   conan install .. --update --build missing -s build_type=Debug -s arch=x86

5. generate project file

   cd debug32
   cmake .. -G "Visual Studio 14 2015"

   or

   cd debug32
   cmake .. -G Xcode

   etc.

6. build the project

   cd debug32
   cmake --build . --config Debug

package specific options

option	default	description
Boost:shared	True	If True, build dynamic link libraries. This option will be ignored when header_only is set to True.
Boost:header_only	False	If True, install boost with header only mode.
Boost:cxxdefines		; separated list of preprocessor macros. To define macro with value, escape = to %3D. ex) Boost:cxxdefines="FOO;BAR%3D1"
Boost:cxxflags		Additional compile flags, separated with ;. = should be escaped to %3D. ex) Boost::cxxflags=--foo;--bar%3D1. This option will be ignored when header_only is set to True.
