Conan-center-index: [package] taocpp-pegtl/2.8.3: CMake find_package compatibility

Created on 22 Jun 2020 · 3Comments · Source: conan-io/conan-center-index

I think the recipe should contain cpp_info.name = "pegtl" as documented here to allow find_package(pegtl) instead of find_package(taocpp-pegtl). The first variant is what PEGTL docs recommend and it's also used by system package managers like Debian, Homebrew etc.

Example of a package doing this.

Package and Environment Details (include every applicable attribute)

Package Name/Version: taocpp-pegtl/2.8.3
OS etc.: not relevant

Steps to reproduce (Include if Applicable)

Create conanfile.txt like this one:

[requires]
taocpp-pegtl/2.8.3

[generators]
cmake_find_package_multi

Create CMakeLists.txt:

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.9)
project(TryPegtl CXX)
list(APPEND CMAKE_MODULE_PATH ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR})
find_package(pegtl REQUIRED)

Try to generate build files:

conan install .
cmake .

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:4 (find_package):
  By not providing "Findpegtl.cmake" in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH this project has
  asked CMake to find a package configuration file provided by "pegtl", but
  CMake did not find one.

  Could not find a package configuration file provided by "pegtl" with any of
  the following names:

    pegtlConfig.cmake
    pegtl-config.cmake

  Add the installation prefix of "pegtl" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set
  "pegtl_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files.  If "pegtl"
  provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it has been
  installed.
