bilke / conan-vtk Goto Github PK

I admit right up front I am new to Conan.

My build platform: Win 10, MSVS 2015, 64 bit, Conan 1.4.3
qtcsv remote is defined as: qtcsv: https://api.bintray.com/conan/conan/conan-transit

So I tried the easy button ... let conan download and install it all:

conan install VTK/7.1.0@bilke/stable -r qtcsv --build VTK

cmake = CMake(self.settings)
ConanException: First argument of CMake() has to be ConanFile. Use CMake(self)

Now I tried to add --keep-source and --keep-build, but conan did not like that.

Plan B pull the project from github and work with that:

git clone https://github.com/bilke/conan-vtk.git

Ok I get around this error my modifying the path to conanbuildinfo.cmake, in the CMakelists.txt file.

re-run it and get:

Suggestions or ideas?

Hi, I'm not sure, if I'm right, but I had some compilation issues in my project, where I think they could/should be fixed in the conanfile.py of vtk.

The error was
libdl.so.2: error adding symbols: DSO missing from command line

I could fix this, when I linked my executable agains dl using target_link_libraries.
I guess, this could be fixed by changing package_info of vtk to include "dl" for linux.

EDIT: Perhaps it is comparable to this case with pthread?

Hello, I am new to conan. I want to use conan to manager the 3rd library for C++ project. However I cannot find VTK8.2( compatible with qt5 ) package in conan-center, conan-transit, conan-community and bincrafters. There is only vtk7.1@bilke.
I also download your codes and have a try. I have tried conan install or conan build but failed. Could you please tell me how to get the vtk8.2( compatible with qt5 ) build using your conan codes? Many thanks.

Please clarify under which license you are sharing this Conan recipe and all it's related code within this repository.
