Sample Usage#
Install the System Package Deployers#
These are maintained in a separate repo so we can use
conan config install.
$ conan config install https://github.com/DaverSomethingSomethingOrg/conan-system-packaging.git

$
Custom Conan Profile#
We need to add a install_prefix option to a custom Conan profile.
Specify the path you wish to build and install your toolchain to.
(I use /opt/toolchain in this example)
~/.conan2/profiles/optPrefix
[settings]
arch=armv8
build_type=Release
compiler=gcc
compiler.cppstd=gnu17
compiler.libcxx=libstdc++11
compiler.version=11
os=Linux
[options]
*:install_prefix=/opt/toolchain
Creating a new Toolchain definition#
To connect all of our tool packages together into a single build and
deployment, we create a simple Conan package definition that uses
the install_prefix option and lists all primary tools as toplevel
dependencies. This will help catch any diamond transitive depdendency
version issues early in the process.
Sample toolchain conanfile.py
from conan import ConanFile
from conan.tools.layout import basic_layout
class Toolchain(ConanFile):
settings = "os", "compiler", "build_type", "arch"
options = {
"install_prefix": [None, "ANY"],
}
default_options = {
"install_prefix": None,
}

Running the package builds#
Sample Usage
# First seed the Conan Cache by installing all packages, building any
# (or all) that are missing
$ conan install --build=missing .
# Once the cache is seeded, run the RPM generator for each package
$ conan install --deployer-folder=rpm_deploy \
--deployer=rpm_deployer \
--profile=optToolchain \
.
