RunEnvironment¶

The RunEnvironment helper prepare PATH, LD_LIBRARY_PATH and DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variables to locate shared libraries and executables of your requirements at runtime.

This helper is specially useful:

If you are requiring packages with shared libraries and you are running some executable that needs those libraries.
If you have a requirement with some tool (executable) and you need it in the path.

from conans import ConanFile, RunEnvironment

class ExampleConan(ConanFile):
   ...

   def build(self):
      env_build = RunEnvironment(self)
      with tools.environment_append(env_build.vars):
         self.run("....")
         # All the requirements bin folder will be available at PATH
         # All the lib folders will be available in LD_LIBRARY_PATH and DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH

Set environment variables:

NAME	DESCRIPTION
PATH	Containing all the requirements `bin` folders.
LD_LIBRARY_PATH	Containing all the requirements `lib` folders. (Linux)
DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH	Containing all the requirements `lib` folders. (OSX)
