Conan recipe for CAF

Platform	Build Status
Linux
Windows

Setup

Conan

pip install conan

Usage

Add a requirement for caf/0.15.5@actor-framework/stable to your conanfile.txt or conanfile.py.

Build Options

There are a number of CAF-specific options which are activated using caf:option=value:

Option	Values	Default	Description
shared	True, False	False	Build shared libraries
static	True, False	True	Build static libraries
log_level	ERROR, WARNING, INFO, DEBUG	None	Build with logging

For example, to use shared libraries and debug logging for CAF, use:

conan install -o caf:shared=True -o caf:log_level=DEBUG

Conan keeps track of the option values used and each built combination of options is a different package.

GCC 5.1+

CAF compiles with the default C++ ABI.

Verify which version of the C++ ABI your compiler is using by default:

g++ --version -v 2>&1 | grep with-default-libstdcxx-abi

Edit ~/.conan/conan.conf and change compiler.libcxx depending on the value of --with-default-libstdcxx-abi:

ABI value	Conan compiler.libcxx
new	libstdc++11
old	libstdc++

You may need to run the conan command once to generate it.

Development

Testing a new version of the package

1. Edit the following files and and change the version to the new version number:
   1. conanfile.py
   2. .travis.yml
   3. appveyor.yml
2. Run conan create

The syntax for conan create is

conan create actor-framework/stable [-o caf:option=value]...

conan create will build CAF and install the package in your local Conan cache under ~/.conan/data. It will also run a smoke test against the package.

Continuous Integration

Travis and Appveyor are set up to build packages for a number of configurations. See .travis.yml, appveyor.yml and build.py for details.
