I have trouble with getting cmake-unit and dependencies.

Knitschi commented 7 years ago

Hi smspillaz,

I would like to try out the cmake-unit project, but I have trouble "installing" it. When I download the project and simply add it to my project it misses the file conanbuildinfo.cmake. It would be very helpful if you had some instructions on how to correctly get your package and its dependencies at the top of the documentation.

From the conan.py file, I take that the missing files are retrieved using the conan package manager. I have only beginners knowledge of python and none of conan. I am working with python 3.4 on windows btw. So this is what I tried so far:

install conan with python -m pip install conan
add the conan directory to PYTHONPATH
changed the current directory to the download directory of cmake-unit which I copied into my project.
ran python -m conan install -> retrieved the following error output

threw my hands up in desperation, gave up and wrote this issue ;-)

Do you have any ideas what else do I need to do to make it work? Thank you for your time.

Hmm, you shouldn't be having that problem. I haven't worked on this for some time, but I'll try it out tonight and see if I can get it to work.

@Knitschi I just rebuilt the branch on CI and it looks like everything downloaded fine, so I'm not sure what was causing your problem.

Nonetheless, it looks like conan.io is shutting down their hosting and I'll need to migrate to bintray: http://docs.conan.io/en/latest/move_to_bintray.html

Thank you for your response. I think I will give this more time in a couple of weeks. For now I do without unit tests.
