Conan.io "Hello World" work-flow example of using Eclipse CDT

Conan example of Eclipse CDT projects by running headless Eclipse from the Conan build() method by creating a static library and then using that library in an application.

Library Layout in project root directory: hello_lib

│   └───hello_statlib

• conanfile.py in root directory hello_lib
• hello_statlib.a static library artefact will be build by Eclipse in bin.
• hello.h is in inc
• hello.cpp is in src
• The Eclipse project(1..n) files are under directory workspace/hello_statlib.

Application Layout in project root directory: hello_appl

│   └───hello

• conanfile.py in root directory hello_appl
• hello.exe will be build by Eclipse in bin
• hello.h to be place by conan in inc
• hello_statlib.a static library artefact to be place by Conan in lib.
• main.cpp is in src
• The Eclipse project(1..n) files are under directory workspace/hello.

Work-flow on high-level per project

hello_lib

• Project hello_statlib runs in the build() method as headless Eclipse and create hello_statlib.a in the bin directory.
• Conan have to package the lib hello_statlib.a, header hello.h and Eclipse project file from the bin, inc and workspace/hello_statlib*directories to remote store.

hello_appl

• Conan have to place the lib hello_statlib.a and header hello.h in the lib and inc directories from the remote store.
• Project hello runs in the build() method as headless Eclipse and create the appl. hello.exe in the bin directory.
• Conan have to package the hello.exe and Eclipse project file to remote store.
