This can be used in org-source to get the compile flags for source blocks. see https://github.com/Carl2/conan-elisp conan-install Install Conan packages for `libs', with `flags' specifying the options. Usage: (conan-install CONAN-LIBS-LIST FLAGS &optional PRE POST) CONAN-LIBS-LIST is a string containing the names and versions of the Conan packages to be installed, separated by space. For example: "fmt/8.1.1 zlib/1.2.13". FLAGS is expected to be one of the symbols 'include, 'libs, 'both, or 'all. These options specify which Conan package information to extract: - 'include extracts the include paths for the Conan packages. - 'libs extracts the library paths for the Conan packages. - 'both extracts both the include and library paths for the Conan packages. - 'all is equivalent to 'both. The function first extracts the Conan package names and versions from CONAN-LIBS-LIST and calls the `conan-conan-install` function to install the packages. It then extracts the include and/or library paths for the installed packages based on the FLAGS option, and sets the corresponding Emacs Lisp variables to these paths. PRE - These are compile flags that are added before the conan flags when compiling POST - Flags that are added to the compile flags after the conan flags. Example usage: (conan-install "fmt/8.1.1 zlib/1.2.13" 'libs "-std=c++20 -Wall -Wextra" "-O3") This installs the Conan packages for fmt and zlib with version numbers 8.1.1 and 1.2.13, respectively, and extracts the library paths for these packages. It will also add the PRE-flags "-std=c++20 -Wall -Wextra" before the conan flags this would possibly look something like: g++ -std=c++20 -Wall -Wextra -I/home/user/.conan2/p/b/fmt038de2f1e357a/p/include \ -I/home/user/.conan2/p/sml056dfa7919d57/p/include \ -L/home/user/.conan2/p/b/fmt038de2f1e357a/p/lib \ -lfmt -lm -O3 main.cpp Examples (conan-install "fmt/10.1.1 sml/1.1.6 zlib/1.2.13" 'all) With pre flags (conan-install "fmt/10.1.1 sml/1.1.9" 'all "-std=c++20 -Wall -Wextra") With post flags (conan-install "fmt/10.1.1 sml/1.1.9" 'all nil "-std=c++20 -Wall -Wextra") With both pre and post flags (conan-install "fmt/10.1.1 sml/1.1.9" 'all "-std=c++20 -Wall -Wextra" "-o /tmp/myElf") When compiling Note: This function assumes that Conan 2.0 is installed on the system and that the necessary Conan packages are available. todo alot! Buts its a start..
