Conan install error on QtCreator 12.0.0/12.0.1

Calcifer

I make a issue to conan here: https://github.com/conan-io/cmake-conan/issues/608,

James, Conan co-founder, told me it is a problem of conan_provider.cmake.

The file path conan_provider.cmake which QtCreator 12.0.1 use is C:\Qt\Tools\QtCreator\share\qtcreator\package-manager,
upgrade conan_provider.cmake did not solve the problem.

Thanks in advance.

Alternatively just download the auto-setup.cmake that will be part of Qt Creator 12.0.2.

Please do create a bug report at https://bugreports.qt.io/secure/CreateIssue.jspa?pid=10512 for better tracking.

Please attach the project as you would want it to work in Qt Creator.

I'll have a look at the issue and see how I can fix it from the Qt Creator side.

You can fix your Qt Creator 12.0.1 by modifying c:\Qt\qtcreator-12.0.1\share\qtcreator\package-manager\auto-setup.cmake and add:

  # Forward important CMake variables to the package manager in the toolchain file
  foreach(fwd_var CMAKE_MSVC_RUNTIME_LIBRARY CMAKE_SYSROOT CMAKE_OSX_SYSROOT CMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES)
    if (${fwd_var})
      file(APPEND "${toolchainFile}"
          "set(${fwd_var} ${${fwd_var}})\n")
    endif()
  endforeach()

in the macro qtc_auto_setup_compiler_standard.

This way the CMAKE_MSVC_RUNTIME_LIBRARY variable will be passed to the toolchain file that auto-setup.cmake uses to configure the Conan dependencies.
