Conan package for Nonius

[bjoernpollex]

I've created a Conan-package for Nonius here. It works for me on Mac OS X, but I have no way of testing it on Windows.

Also, in order to configure the Boost dependency better, it would be useful to know for which versions of Visual Studio specifically it is required.

I'm happy for any feedback. If you have no objections, once it's confirmed working on Windows, I'd publish it in the Conan central repository.

Boost is needed everywhere because of the statistical functions (I'm not going to reinvent those any time soon). VS <2015 needs Boost.Chrono in addition to that because their header is broken. Nothing else needs anything. I think this still works with Boost as old as 1.54 but from now on I'm sticking to the latest three versions in my testing (1.58, 1.59, and 1.60 at the time of writing).

Feel free to push it.

Sorry it took me so long to get back to this. I've uploaded two packages for Nonius to conan.io, one for the current stable release, and one for the current beta release. Please let me know if you have feedback. I'll look into the issue with Boost above.

For now I'm happy to track releases and publish packages, but I'll also look into how to automate this (needs to be figured out anyway).

@nabijaczleweli, the issue you see there seems to be in the recipe for Boost. I've created an issue to track this.

[bjoernpollex]

@nabijaczleweli, according to the package author of the Boost package, this error doesn't happen anymore, however, he has trouble compiling the example. Could you run it again with an up-to-date version of Conan?
