Conan and CMake find_package

computerquip

Hi! I've decided to give Qt with Conan a shot since I'm using conan already. I noticed some oddities that I'm not too sure about though.

Normally, when I use Qt, I have something along the lines of:

find_package(Qt6 REQUIRED COMPONENTS Core Widgets)

...inside of CMakeLists.txt. This doesn't seem to work with the Conan module. In order to get Widgets, I download the qtbase package which doesn't output a Qt6 find module or config script. So in order to get this to work, I'm having to do:

find_package(qtbase REQUIRED)
find_package(Qt6 REQUIRED COMPONENTS Core Widgets)

I'm just wondering if this is the intended use of this. For reference is my conanfile.py below:

from conans import ConanFile
from conan.tools.cmake import CMakeDeps, CMakeToolchain, CMake

class App(ConanFile):
    settings = "os", "arch", "compiler", "build_type"

    tool_requires = (
        "cmake/3.22.3"
    )

    requires = (
        "qtbase/6.2.3@qt/everywhere"
    )

    def generate(self):
        deps = CMakeDeps(self)
        deps.generate()

        tc = CMakeToolchain(self)
        tc.generate()

    def build(self):
        cmake = CMake(self)
        cmake.configure()
        cmake.build()

Aside from that, everything seems to work okay with minimal examples.

What is your conan profile?
The following profile does not work for me.

[settings]
arch=x86_64
arch_build=x86_64
build_type=Debug
compiler=gcc
compiler.libcxx=libstdc++11
compiler.version=9
os=Linux
os_build=Linux
[options]
[build_requires]
[env]
