x86 version is not available. Could you please add it?

What do you mean? The Boost x86 is not available for download or you can't build for x86?

Conan Center Index doesn't provide x86 package versions, please read the supported configurations section: https://github.com/conan-io/conan-center-index/wiki/Supported-Platforms-And-Configurations

I failed to build it locally. Here's the log:

Now I understand your point. In this case you should open an issue using the template [BUG] which contains more fields for description.

x86 version is not available. Could you please add it?

What do you mean? The Boost x86 is not available for download or you can't build for x86?

Conan Center Index doesn't provide x86 package versions, please read the supported configurations section: https://github.com/conan-io/conan-center-index/wiki/Supported-Platforms-And-Configurations

The old conan center provides x86 packages, Is there any reason conan center index doesn't provide them anymore?

[sinall]

It seems that I need to pass 'vc141' as argument to bootstrap.bat, I want to add the argument directly in conanfile.py but I don't know which conanfile.py & bootstrap.bat is conan using. Too many folders under D:.conan and the log doesn't give a clue.

[sinall]

After adding 'vc141' to conanfile.py of boost, it compiles. But openssl-1.1.1d compains now:

[SSE4]

@sinall as it says (at the very last line), you have to update your settings.yml. http://docs.conan.io/en/latest/faq/troubleshooting.html#error-invalid-setting

[sinall]

@SSE4 My project uses x86 libraries. Considering conan-center-index doesn't provide x86 versions, I'm going to rollback the change and use conan-community again at this moment.
But the problem now is that I have removed 'OpenSSL' previously, now I can't use it because of case incompatible issue. Do you know which version of conan can I use to avoid this?

---

If I use conan-1.17.2, I get 'ConanException: Wrong package recipe reference openssl/1.1.1d'.

[sinall]

@SSE4 Is openssl/1.1.1d@_/_ the same as openssl/1.1.1d? I'm confused by those different suffixes like _/_, conan/stable, bincrafters/stable, are they eventually replaced by openssl/1.1.1d?

[danimtb]

Hi @sinall,

Let me answer the questions in order:

• No, we are not providing binaries for the x86 configuration. However, building those binaries yourself should be straightforward using --build ` when installing your dependencies. The reason for this is just optimization of the building service: there are a lot of libraries, versions, and configurations to build. And of course usage: we see considerably fewer downloads for the x86 architecture and in some cases like MacOS, no further support for this architecture.

• Casing issues are known and Windows and we cannot do anything to solve them. Conan warns you about this possible issue and you will have to choose which package to use. That's why all new packages in this repo are always lowercase. Unfortunately, there is no Conan version (older or newer) able to overcome this issue without user interaction on the file system.

• Yes, openssl/1.1.1d is under the hood equivalent to openssl/1.1.1d@_/_. Some Conan versions ago we introduced the feature to be able to create packages without user and channel. This was done based on the feedback from users and all the conan-center-index references do not have user and channel. However, its usage is not deprecated, and you can still use and create packages with user and channel at your wish.

Hope the information helps you.

Please comment if there is any fix the boost recipe needs in order to compile for the x86 arch, otherwise, this issue will be closed. Thank you!

[sinall]

@danimtb Thanks you for those detailed explanation, it is much clear now.
Does boost/1.71.0@conan/stable still have x86 binaries? It seems that used this config to install boost without build. (I may remember wrong.)

Correct if I'm wrong. conan/stable still provide x86 binaries, it is a different channel from _/_, it is being replaced by _/_.

[danimtb]

Yes, boost/1.71.0@conan/stable still has binaries for x86 architecture (it was generated in the past using 3rd party CIs) and you can still use it.

You can check the existing x86 packages with the command:

conan search boost/1.71.0@conan/stable -q arch=x86 -r conan-center

However, take into account that the recipe will not be updated with the changes in this repo (that's why we recommend using just boost/1.71.0 from this repo instead).

No new packages will be uploaded to the reference boost/1.71.0@conan/stable and users should gradually shift to boost/1.71.0.

Hope that answers your questions. Thanks!

[sinall]

@danimtb May I suggest conan could potentially classify libraries into different categories, and still provide x86 binaries for those very popular and build consuming libraries?

[danimtb]

@sinall I think it could be a partial solution. Anyway, I forgot to ask, why do you need the x86 package? Is that a hard requirement for you? We would like to know just in case we are missing something out of consideration. Thanks a lot

[sinall]

@danimtb It isn't hard requirement, there are 2 reasons:

1. A few users are still using 32bit Windows
2. Some of libraries my applications depends on still don't have corresponding conan infrastructure, they were previously compiled as 32bit.
   The current situation is if I want to upgrade one of the libraries such as cpprestsdk, boost, etc, I have to compile them in my local machine, or I change entire application and dependencies to x64 architecture.
   Compiling cpprestsdk is maybe easy, but boost will take huge time and could fail.
