Failed `drogon/1.7.5@#be3f0e63b9b4d6af7b6c37694ff77ac7`

• short story: Path to dg_ctl not updated

• long story: I wanted to install drogon with drogon_ctl, by activating the option in the conanfile.txt file:

[requires]
drogon/1.7.5

[generators]
cmake

[options]
drogon:with_ctl=True
# The following is required due to a bug that will be soon treated
# Once done, remove this line
drogon:shared=True

It does install, but the PATH environment variable does not seem to be updated despite the logs:

Here's what I get when trying to launch dg_ctl:

jean-pierre@XXXXXXX:~/acp_dev/CppRestAPI/drogon/static-site/build$ dg_ctl
dg_ctl : commande introuvable

$PATH does not seem to be updated:

jean-pierre@XXXXXXX:~/acp_dev/CppRestAPI/drogon/static-site/build$ echo $PATH
/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/snap/bin:/home/jean-pierre/.local/bin
jean-pierre@TIVDEVLX03:~/acp_dev/CppRestAPI/drogon/static-site/build$ ls /home/jean-pierre/.conan/data/drogon/1.7.5/_/_/package/bd113cdd86326f8704cc2e813f92829321fdea19/bin
dg_ctl  drogon_ctl

But, even if PATH were correctly updated, it would not survive a reboot? Am I missing something ? Wouldn't it be better to put a link into a drogon_tools folder that would sit into the current project build folder ?

Best regards,

Jean-Pierre

Please try to use [imports]. https://docs.conan.io/en/latest/reference/conanfile_txt.html?highlight=imports#imports

[imports]
lib, *.so* -> ./lib # Copies all dll files from packages bin folder to my "bin" folder
bin, drogon_ctl* -> ./bin

When executing conan install, conan print out following messages.

conanfile.txt imports(): Copied 2 '.5' files: libdrogon.so.1.7.5, libtrantor.so.1.5.5
conanfile.txt imports(): Copied 2 '.so' files: libdrogon.so, libtrantor.so
conanfile.txt imports(): Copied 2 '.1' files: libdrogon.so.1, libtrantor.so.1
conanfile.txt imports(): Copied 1 file: drogon_ctl

Now you can find drogon_ctl in build/bin. Please execute with LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

>  LD_LIBRARY_PATH=build/lib  build/bin/drogon_ctl

The reported issue occurred with the legacy cmake generator rather than CMakeDeps and VirtualRunEnv or VirtualBuildEnv. Can probably be closed.
