[question] Migrating from conan 1.62.0 to conan 2.2.2 about conan HOT 16 OPEN

I'm also having a trouble with the export-pkg

Please open a new ticket for this, and please try to provide full details, it is not clear what if fails, it seems to work from your output. Also, providing things that we can reproduce in our end is what makes the support effective, otherwise it is just mostly guessing.

In your case, your dst=include_archicad is wrong, it is a relative path. Please use an absolute path as documented, if you check the package() method docs in https://docs.conan.io/2/reference/conanfile/methods/package.html, the dst should be an absolute folder, typically using self.package_folder

from conan.

No idea, sorry.

I'd need exact steps to reproduce it. As it is a boost pacakge issue, it seems that it should be possible to reproduce with some conan install --requires=boost/.. --build="boost/*" .... Please provide reproducible steps (including platform, compiler, compiler version, etc) and I'll try to have a look.

from conan.

@memsharded Sadly I can't is a private repositor :(

Then I am afraid that it is impossible for us to know what is happening, if we cannot reproduce the issue.

The standard way of proceeding with this is to make a minimal reproducible example. You setup a simple public project, with the very minimum to reproduce the issue. This is usually done by doing a copy of your project, and stripping almost everything, or starting a simple project from a template. Typically very simple hello world projects, as the ones created with conan new cmake_lib -d name=mypkg -d version=0.1 are enough to reproduce issues, so no need to share your private code or IP, you can fabricate an artificial project that shows the issue.

Hi @manuelpagliuca - thanks for taking the time to submit this question.

As far as I can see, boost/1.77.0 is compatible with Conan 2.x

conan list "boost/1.77.0:*" -r conancenter

This returns that binary packages were published - and if the recipe was not compatible you would've seen errors much earlier.

The errors when building boost seem to match what is discussed here:

• https://reviews.llvm.org/D131307
• boostorg/mpl#69

Thus it is possible that the specific version of clang that you are using is also at play. If this is a result of -Werror, depending on the version of clang you are using, you may have some luck with -Wno-enum-constexpr-conversion. This issue would be isolated to the specific combination of Boost version and Clang compiler version - could you report which version of Clang you are using? However if this is indeed the case - there isn't much we can do from our end.

As for the recipe that you have pasted:

• generators = "cmake", "txt", "virtualenv" -> no longer applies in Conan 2, in your case you need CMakeDeps and CMakeToolchain - but I would advise to use the generate() method https://docs.conan.io/2/reference/conanfile/methods/generate.html#generate - since you need to customize some CMake settings
• cmake.definitions is deprecated - you need to do this in the generate() method by customizing the input in CMakeToolchain (with variables or cache_variables, see this section of the docs for example snippets: https://docs.conan.io/2/reference/tools/cmake/cmaketoolchain.html#cache-variables

Hello @jcar87
I tried appending the flag option for mac installation.

    def build(self):
        cmake = CMake(self)

        acver = str(self.options.archicad)[:2]

        if self.settings.os == "Windows":
            if acver == "25":
                compiler_flags = "/W3 /WX /permissive- /EHsc"
            else:
                compiler_flags = "/W4 /WX /permissive- /EHsc"
        else:
            compiler_flags = "-Wall -Wextra -Werror -Wno-missing-field-initializers -ffunction-sections -Wno-enum-constexpr-conversion"

        cmake.definitions["CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS"] = compiler_flags
        cmake.definitions["ARCHICAD_VERSION"] = str(self.options.archicad)[:2]
        cmake.definitions["LANGUAGE"] = str(self.options.language)
        cmake.configure()
        cmake.build()

But I still get the same error the version is "Apple clang version 15.0.0 (clang-1500.3.9.4)", but I suppose this conan installation command would work for 14.0.0, could it be? Is really possible that I can't do nothing for making this work?

In the while I'll investigate more on generate() method, thanks for everything.

from conan.

The previous couldn't be a valid test since it wasn't reading the flags according to what you've told me, sorry.

I updated the conanfile.py as the following:

Hi @manuelpagliuca

In many cases it is not desired to be fully overwriting tc.cache_variables["CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS"] = compiler_flags as CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS is managed and defined mostly by CMake. They recommend in general to use the CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_INIT instead.

Are you sure you don't want to use the CMakeToolchain.extra_cxxflags instead to define extra flags only?
Otherwise, we would need something we can reproduce from our end, challenging to know the issue if we can't reproduce it.

Some other issues:

• self.tool_requires("range-v3/0.12.0") range-v3 is a library, not an executable. tool_requires are for applications used at build time only, not intended for libraries, and that can have some unexpected behaviors.
• In Conan 1.X tool_requires must be in the build_requirements() method, not in the requirements() method

from conan.

Hi @memsharded, I was following the migration guide and I thought I had to change all the old requirements call with tool_requires.

I'm also having a trouble with the export-pkg

What is your question?

Hello, I'm attempting to migrate from legacy (1.62.0) conan to the latest version, in doing this I've update the conanfile.py according to the migration guidelines, now I'm trying to install the binaries I need to update them on a remote repository.

Command: conan install -pr macos -o archicad=27 ../BIM-ArchiCAD-Plugin --build=missing -r conancenter

I've entered an issue regarding boost/1.77.0, these are the final output texts from the installation process:

Sure.

0. Activate the Python environment which has installed in it Conan 2.2.2, with the command source ~pythonConanEnv2
1. Create a build directory inside at the same level of the repository BIM-ArchiCAD-Plugin.
2. Move into the build directory with the command cd build
3. Installing all the configuration files in conan conan config install ../BIM-ArchiCAD-Plugin/conan/config
4. Installing the required recipes from the conanfile.py inside the repository conan install -pr macos -o archicad=27 ../BIM-ArchiCAD-Plugin --build=missing -r conancenter. I'm forcing to use the conancenter remote, since later I will upload them on artifdactory, also between these recipes there is an ADK that I've built using conan 2, which is installed in cache (and on artifactory).
5. Executing the build command conan build ../BIM-ArchiCAD-Plugin --profile:build=default --profile:host=macos, I'm attempting to force cross-compilation since at the moment the current machine I'm using isn't aligned with the macos profile.

from conan.

Create a build directory inside at the same level of the repository BIM-ArchiCAD-Plugin.

Sorry, can you please point us to the repo (and exact branch) URL? Thanks!
