About:
Conan is a decentralized, open-source C/C++ package manager designed for speed and scalability. It handles binary and source package management with a powerful dependency resolution system, enabling teams to build and share packages across any platform. Its multi-generator support creates build system files for CMake, Autotools, and more, streamlining development workflows.
Key Features:
  • Cross-platform dependency management for C/C++
  • Decentralized architecture with remote repositories
  • Binary package management for efficient CI/CD
  • Multi-generator support (CMake, MSBuild, etc.)
  • Highly scalable with Python-based extensibility
Use Cases:
  • Managing binary dependencies across diverse development teams
  • Automating C/C++ builds in CI/CD pipelines
  • Creating and sharing private internal packages
Alternatives:
  • vcpkg – Microsoft-backed, tightly integrated with Visual Studio and CMake, but less flexible for custom workflows
  • spack – Primarily focused on HPC and scientific computing, excels at building many variants of packages
