[bug] Dependency 'intl' not found during build of glib/2.78.3 in conan about conan-center-index HOT 5 OPEN

Hi @ScarletEmanu

This looks like a bug in the recipe itself (recipe or even the code upstream). Let me transfer it to conan-center-index repository.

from conan-center-index.

Also, as a comment: ConanCenter builds and tests packages with msvc in Windows, gcc and clang in Linux, etc. But not mingw in Windows. That means that support for mingw in ConanCenter recipes might be varying, and some packages or even some of the underlying libraries source code might not work correctly with mingw. In general, the recommended compiler in Windows would be msvc one.

The first recommended step would be to try first with the msvc compiler, and see if it works, that is good information to isolate the potential problem.

Thanks for advice @memsharded. Using msvc compiler, building of glib not failed.

That is good feedback, thanks @ScarletEmanu

It seems the combo "glib recipe" + "meson" + "mingw for Windows" is not working fine, something to investigate.

from conan-center-index.

Just to make sure, I have just ran:

• conan new meson_lib -d name=mypkg -d version=0.1
• Use the profile:

[settings]
os=Windows
build_type=Release
arch=x86_64
compiler=gcc
compiler.version=11
compiler.libcxx=libstdc++11
compiler.cppstd=17
compiler.threads=posix
compiler.exception=seh

[tool_requires]
pkgconf/[*]

[buildenv]
PATH+=(path)C:/ws/msys64/mingw64/bin

• conan create . -pr=myprofile

And it seems to work fine, so at least the basic Conan + Meson + MinGW works
