Generators

Generators are specific components that provide the information of dependencies calculated by Conan in a suitable format for a build system. They normally provide Conan users with a conanbuildinfo.XXX file that can be included or injected to the specific build system. The file generated contains information of dependencies in form of different variables and sometimes function helpers too.

You can specify a generator in:

  • The [generators] section from conanfile.txt<conanfile_txt_reference>
  • The generators attribute in conanfile.py<conanfile_reference>

Available generators:

generators/cmake generators/cmakemulti generators/cmake_paths generators/cmake_find_package generators/cmake_find_package_multi generators/visualstudio generators/visualstudiomulti generators/visualstudiolegacy generators/xcode generators/compiler_args generators/gcc generators/boost_build generators/b2 generators/qbs generators/qmake generators/scons generators/pkg_config generators/virtualenv generators/virtualbuildenv generators/virtualrunenv generators/ycm generators/text generators/json generators/premake generators/make
