make¶
This is the reference page for
make generator.
Go to Integrations/make if you want to learn how to integrate your project or recipes with make.This generators creates a file named conanbuildinfo.mak with information of dependencies in different variables that can be used for your make builds.
Variables¶
Variables per package. The <PKG-NAME> placeholder is filled with the name of the Conan package.
| NAME | VALUE |
|---|---|
| CONAN_ROOT_<PKG-NAME> | Absolute path to root package folder |
| CONAN_SYSROOT_<PKG-NAME> | System root folder |
| CONAN_INCLUDE_DIRS_<PKG-NAME> | Headers folders |
| CONAN_LIB_DIRS_<PKG-NAME> | Library folders |
| CONAN_BIN_DIRS_<PKG-NAME> | Binary folders |
| CONAN_BUILD_DIRS_<PKG-NAME> | Build folders |
| CONAN_RES_DIRS_<PKG-NAME> | Resources folders |
| CONAN_LIBS_<PKG-NAME> | Library names to link with |
| CONAN_DEFINES_<PKG-NAME> | Library definitions |
| CONAN_CFLAGS_<PKG-NAME> | Options for the C compiler (-g, -s, -m64, -m32, -fPIC) |
| CONAN_CXXFLAGS_<PKG-NAME> | Options for the C++ compiler (-g, -s, -stdlib, -m64, -m32, -fPIC, -std) |
| CONAN_SHAREDLINKFLAGS_<PKG-NAME> | Library Shared linker flags |
| CONAN_EXELINK_FLAGS_<PKG-NAME> | Executable linker flags |
Conan also declares some global variables with the aggregated values of all our requirements. The values are ordered in the right order according to the dependency tree.
| NAME | VALUE |
|---|---|
| CONAN_ROOTPATH | Aggregated root folders |
| CONAN_SYSROOT | Aggregated system root folders |
| CONAN_INCLUDE_DIRS | Aggregated header folders |
| CONAN_LIB_DIRS | Aggregated library folders |
| CONAN_BIN_DIRS | Aggregated binary folders |
| CONAN_BUILD_DIRS | Aggregated build folders |
| CONAN_RES_DIRS | Aggregated resource folders |
| CONAN_LIBS | Aggregated library names to link with |
| CONAN_DEFINES | Aggregated library definitions |
| CONAN_CFLAGS | Aggregated options for the C compiler |
| CONAN_CXXFLAGS | Aggregated options for the C++ compiler |
| CONAN_SHAREDLINKFLAGS | Aggregated Shared linker flags |
| CONAN_EXELINKFLAGS | Aggregated Executable linker flags |
Important
Note that the mapping of the Conan variables to the Make ones is done taking the following rules into account and we suggest to use the variables indicated under the Makefile column to apply to a common naming:
cpp_info |
conanbuildinfo.mak | Makefile |
|---|---|---|
| defines | CONAN_DEFINES | CPPFLAGS |
| includedirs | CONAN_INCLUDE_DIRS | CPPFLAGS |
| libdirs | CONAN_LIB_DIRS | LDFLAGS |
| libs | CONAN_LIBS | LDLIBS |
| cflags | CONAN_CFLAGS | CFLAGS |
| cppflags | CONAN_CXXFLAGS | CXXFLAGS |
