Software Architecture with C++, Second Edition, Published by Packt

Install the following software:

• CMake 3.28
• Conan 2.13
• GCC 14

For optional packaging with CPack:

• dpkg build tools: dh_make and dpkg-buildpackage to assemble DEB packages
• rpm build tools: rpmbuild to assemble RPM packages

Assuming you're on Linux or using WSL, configure a local Conan profile and remotes by running:

rm -rf ./build/
conan profile detect --name ./build/conan_profile

Make sure that the profile section [settings] contains:

arch=x86_64
compiler=gcc
compiler.libcxx=libstdc++11
compiler.version=14
os=Linux

To build the project, configure the Conan profile as described above, cd to its directory, and then run:

conan install . --build=missing -s build_type=Release -pr:a=./build/conan_profile
cmake --preset conan-release
cmake --build --preset conan-release

If GCC 14 is not your default compiler, you can tell CMake to use it with the CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER flag:

conan install . --build=missing -s build_type=Release -pr:a=./build/conan_profile
cmake --preset conan-release -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=`which g++-14`
cmake --build --preset conan-release

To pass the settings directly without a Conan profile, use the command line option --settings:all or -s:a, and the keys arch, build_type, compiler, compiler.cppstd, compiler.libcxx, compiler.version, os:

rm -rf ./build/
conan install . --build=missing -s:a build_type=Release -s:a compiler=gcc
cmake --preset conan-release
cmake --build --preset conan-release

To apply Conan dependency as a CMake Dependency Provider, clone this Git repository and then run the next command:

rm -rf ./build/cmake-conan
git clone https://github.com/conan-io/cmake-conan.git build/cmake-conan

cmake -S . -B build -DCMAKE_PROJECT_TOP_LEVEL_INCLUDES=./build/cmake-conan/conan_provider.cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
cmake --build build

To run tests from each of the projects, cd into their respective build directory, and then simply run ctest.

In the build directory, run cmake --install . to install the software into ${CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH}. If no prefix is given, it will install system-wide. To change this, add -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/path/to/install/to to your cmake invocation.

In the build directory, run cpack. Simple as that. Assuming you're running on a system supporting DEB packages, you'll get a .tar.gz file, a .zip file, a .deb package and an AppImage executable.

Windows Firewall can block connections to the IP address 0.0.0.0 therefore set 127.0.0.1 in customer/src/customer/main.cpp as a workaround or allow connections to that address

In the directory containing conanfile.py, run:

rm -rf ./build
conan install . --build=missing
conan build .
conan export-pkg .

The command conan export-pkg . also runs this test:

conan test test_package customer/0.0.1

Or run this command that includes the other stages to create the package:

conan create . --build=missing

Run Artifactory CE using Docker Compose and wait because the server takes a while to start:

cd docker
docker compose up -d

Open the URL http://localhost:8081 in a browser. The default user and password are admin:password. Navigate to Administration -> Repositories, then click on the Create a Repository button, select Local and the Package Type Conan. For example, type conan-local in the Repository key and click on Create Local Repository.

Connect the Conan remote repository:

conan remote add artifactory http://localhost:8081/artifactory/api/conan/conan-local

Configure the credentials for the remote. By default, they are admin:password:

conan remote login artifactory admin -p password

Upload the customer package:

conan upload customer -r=artifactory
conan search "*" -r=artifactory

Navigate to either Application -> Artifacts or Application -> Packages (wait for package processing).
