[question] `conanbuildinfo.cmake` replacement in Conan 2?

conanbuildinfo.cmake replacement in Conan 2?

Hello,

I am migrating from Conan 1 to Conan 2 and I have some CMakeLists.txts in my packages with code like this:

message(STATUS "Conan CMake Wrapper")
include(conanbuildinfo.cmake)
conan_basic_setup()

I understand that this is Conan 1 boilerplate. However, Conan 2 is not generating conanbuildinfo.cmake before calling CMake when I do a conan create, so CMake aborts with an include could not find requested file error. What is the current protocol using CMake with Conan 2? I mean what changes should I do to these CMakeLists.txts so they are compliant with Conan 2? The migration guide (https://docs.conan.io/1/migrating_to_2.0/recipes.html) does not present anything related to changes necessary to CMake config scripts.

Thank you in advance,

Paulo

Hi @PauloCarvalhoRJ

The replacement is a transparent integration: CMakeDeps and CMakeToolchain can work without having to have anything Conan related in the CMakeLists.txt.

You might learn about this integration nicely in https://docs.conan.io/2/tutorial/consuming_packages/build_simple_cmake_project.html, it is the Conan 2 docs, but the CMakeDeps/CMakeToolchain works the same in Conan 1.X

Thank you, @memsharded . So, that was a great improvement in Conan 2, since we no longer need Canan code in CMake scripts as the build can be done without Conan too.

Thanks again for your time.
