That's great! Thanks a lot @Croydon

Could you suggest any Conan recipe repository with multiplatform (i.e. different compilers, operating systems) build matrix which could be used as a template?

Croydon commented 4 years ago

At Bincrafters we use GitHub Actions only for Linux so far

You can see our template at https://github.com/bincrafters/templates/blob/32ab0bae69c58c3c842e4aba502687d9e9ccaebf/default/.github/workflows/conan.yml#L1

And see an example e.g. at https://github.com/bincrafters/conan-qt/actions or https://github.com/bincrafters/conan-cairo/actions

Thanks! msvc.yml and mingw.yml from Qt are particularly useful. My main use cases are:

Replace AppVeyor for building MSVC and MinGW packages - GitHub Actions provides 20 concurrent builds for free, while AppVeyor only one, which makes building large packages like ICU quite painful. There is no image with VS2015, though I guess it should be possible to install it via chocolatey
Build new recipe for Windows, Linux, and macOS and have all builds and configurations in the same place

Regarding this, please consider upvoting https://github.com/actions/virtual-environments/issues/387

Installing VS2015 on the fly takes way too long
