Conan & RTA 2.0

Steps by Iikka: Conan & RTA 2.0 meeting agenda
How Conan packages should be tested by RTA?
Conan packages are available on testserver - preparations for test can be started.

Profiles from qt.git:/coin/conan/profiles

Test cases:

• build from sources
  • conan install <package_name> --profile=<profile> --build --update
• install existing binaries
  • inside cache (normal use case)
    • conan install <package_name> --profile=<profile> --build=missing --update
      • RTA: All binaries (dependencies) should be installed from the server, nothing should be built from sources
  • outside cache
    • conan install <package_name> --profile=<profile> --build=missing --install-folder=/foo --update
      • RTA: All binaries (dependencies) should be installed from the server, nothing should be built from sources
      • Binaries should be installed to /foo, the directory/file layout should be similar to whit Qt installer:
        • bin/
        • include/
        • lib/
        • ....
• consume conan packages
  • use Conan generators:
    • conan install <package_name> --profile=<profile> --build=missing --generator=virtualenv --generator=qmake --update
      • virtualenv:
        • activate the env
          • Linux/macOS:
            • $ source activate.sh
          • Windows:
            • activate.bat
        • compile the cmake example application normally
        • launch the application
        • https://docs.conan.io/en/latest/mastering/virtualenv.html#virtualenv-generator
      • qmake:
        • include the generated conanbuildinfo.pri file in the example projects .pro file
        • build the qmake example normally
        • launch the example
        • https://docs.conan.io/en/latest/reference/generators/qmake.html?highlight=qmake#qmake
• consume binaries installed outside conan cache
  • see the "install" step above with "--install-folder" argument
    • outside cache
      • conan install <package_name> --profile=<profile> --build=missing --install-folder=/foo --update
  • build and run an example the same way as with binaries installed with Qt Installer from command line
• Verify package sha1's
  • TBD
• Local cache can contain outdated version of a module (compared to what is in server)

          Use --update by default! $conan install <package> --build=never --profile=.. --remote=.. -update
          ​that should ensure that conan client will check that the latest version of each package is used

Instructions from [-https://intranet.qt.io/display/QTRD/Conan+test+builds-]

Instructions page renamed:

https://intranet.qt.io/display/QTRD/Using+Conan

• First: get conan client and authenticate with Conan client first against the server: Conan test account
• Clone profiles: https://codereview.qt-project.org/c/qt/qt5/+/342302 
• Linux desktop build example:
  • conan install qtdeclarative/6.2.0@qt/final --build --profile=/home/iikka/qt5/coin/conan/profiles/centos-8.3-x86_64-gcc
• macOS desktop build example:
  • conan install qtdeclarative/6.2.0@qt/final --build --profile=/home/iikka/qt5/coin/conan/profiles/macos-11.0-x86_64-clang
• Windows desktop build example:
  • conan install qtdeclarative/6.2.0@qt/final --build --profile=/home/iikka/qt5/coin/conan/profiles/windows-10-x86_64-msvc2019_64
• Android cross-compilation (Linux host) example:
  • Edit:  /home/iikka/qt5/coin/conan/profiles/android-arm64-v8a-clang
    • set the following paths correctly: android_ndk, android_sdk
  • conan install qtdeclarative/6.2.0@qt/final --build --profile=/home/iikka/qt5/coin/conan/profiles/centos-8.3-x86_64-gcc --install-folder=/home/iikka/qt_install
  • conan install qtdeclarative/6.2.0@qt/final --build --profile=/home/iikka/qt5/coin/conan/profiles/android-arm64-v8a-clang -o *:qt_host_path=/home/iikka/qt_install

• • • alternatively you can pass android_ndk and android_sdk options from command line too instead having those in profile:

• • • • "-o *:android_ndk=/home/iikka/Android/Sdk/ndk/21.1.6352462 -o *:android_sdk=/home/iikka/Android/Sdk"
