Different libraries contain the same conan package, how to introduce it #252

Closed zhangshiyu12345 closed 1 month ago

How do I have two libraries that contain Conan packages with the same name, now how do I introduce packages from one library in conandata.yml file to distinguish them?

Hi @zhangshiyu12345, Thanks for the question. Could you please elaborate a bit more on your use case? Libraries do not contain conan packages, do you mean the opposite? Do you have packages with the same name that contain different libraries?

zhangshiyu12345 commented 2 months ago

I now have two libraries, demo1 and demo2, both of which have a conan package called gang-test, and now I'm going to use the package from demo1 ，now how to distinguish between them in the conandata.yml

Now I need to add both of the same name packages in demo1 and demo2 to the conandata.yml, how can this be fixed

Hi @zhangshiyu12345 ,

If demo1 and demo2 are completely different libraries and unrelated you should package them in Conan packages with different names.
If those two libraries are the product of the same build process, you just have to add gang-test to the conandata.yml and they both should be available. You could also differentiate those libraries as components, you can check the docs here: https://docs.conan.io/2/examples/conanfile/package_info/components.html

Hope this helps.
