global.conf

global.conf 文件位于 Conan 用户主目录中，例如，[CONAN_HOME]/global.conf。如果它尚不存在，则会自动创建一个默认文件。

配置简介

global.conf 旨在保存一些 Conan 将使用的核心/工具/用户配置变量。例如

  • 软件包 ID 模式。

  • 通用 HTTP(python-requests) 配置。

  • 下载/上传 recipe 时的重试次数。

  • 相关工具配置（由工具链、helpers 等使用）

  • 其他（所需的 Conan 版本、CLI 非交互式等）

让我们简要解释一下现有的三种配置类型

  • core.*：旨在配置 Conan 核心行为的值（下载重试、软件包 ID 模式等）。只能在 global.conf 文件中定义。

  • tools.*：旨在配置 Conan 工具（工具链、构建 helpers 等）的值，这些工具在您的 recipe 中使用。可以在 global.conf 和 profiles 中定义。

  • user.*：旨在定义个人用户配置。它们可以定义用户想要的任何内容。可以在 global.conf 和 profiles 中定义。

配置描述

core.cache:storage_path

Conan 软件包及其数据库将存储在其中的文件夹的绝对路径。此文件夹将是 Conan 最重的存储文件夹，因为它存储已下载或创建的二进制软件包。

global.conf
core.cache:storage_path = C:\Users\danielm\my_conan_storage_folder

默认值： <CONAN_HOME>/p

core.download:download_cache

Conan 软件包将压缩存储在其中的文件夹的绝对路径。这对于避免重复下载相同的软件包非常有用，尤其是在 CI 中。

global.conf
core.download:download_cache = C:\Users\danielm\my_download_cache

默认值： 未定义。

用户/工具配置

工具和用户配置可以在 global.conf 文件和 Conan profiles 中定义。它们看起来像

global.conf
tools.build:verbosity=verbose
tools.microsoft.msbuild:max_cpu_count=2
tools.microsoft.msbuild:vs_version = 16
tools.build:jobs=10
# User conf variable
user.confvar:something=False

重要提示

Profiles 值将优先于 global.conf 中全局定义的值。

以下是关于配置项范围和命名的一些提示

  • core.xxx 和 tools.yyy 是 Conan 内置的，用户无法在这些范围内定义自己的配置项。

  • core.xxx 只能在 global.conf 中或通过 --core-conf CLI 参数定义，但不能在 profiles 中定义。

  • tools.yyy 可以在 global.conf、profiles 的 [conf] 部分以及作为 CLI -c 参数定义

  • user.zzz 可以在任何地方定义，并且完全由用户自行决定，没有既定的命名约定。但是，以下内容或多或少是预期的

    • 对于开源库，尤其是 conancenter 中的那些库，user.packagename:conf 可能是预期的，例如 boost recipe 定义的 user.boost:conf 配置

    • 对于私有用途，建议可以使用类似 user.orgname:conf 的内容来表示跨所有项目的全局组织配置，user.orgname.project:conf 表示项目或软件包配置，尽管如果项目名称足够唯一，user.project:conf 也可能很好。

    • 它们_必须_有一个 : 分隔符，例如 user.myorg:conf，但不能是 user.myorg.conf 或 user.myorg。这是为了与下面讨论的模式区分开来。

配置文件模板

可以为 global.conf 使用 jinja2 模板引擎。当 Conan 加载此文件时，它会立即解析并渲染模板，这必须生成标准的工具配置文本。

# Using all the cores automatically
tools.build:jobs={{os.cpu_count()}}
# Using the current OS
user.myconf.system:name = {{platform.system()}}

Conan 还会将 detect_api（非稳定，请阅读参考文档）注入到 jinja 渲染上下文中。您可以像这样使用它

user.myteam:myconf1={{detect_api.detect_os()}}
user.myteam:myconf2={{detect_api.detect_arch()}}

有关如何使用它的更多信息，请查看 profiles 参考文档中的 detect_api 部分。

传递给渲染模板的 Python 包是所有平台的 os 和 platform，以及 Linux 平台中的 distro。此外，变量 conan_version 和 conan_home_folder 也可用。

配置数据类型

所有值都将被 Conan 解释为 python 内置 eval() 函数的结果

# String
tools.build:verbosity=verbose
# Boolean
tools.system.package_manager:sudo=True
# Integer
tools.microsoft.msbuild:max_cpu_count=2
# List of values
user.myconf.build:ldflags=["--flag1", "--flag2"]
# Dictionary
tools.microsoft.msbuildtoolchain:compile_options={"ExceptionHandling": "Async"}

配置数据运算符

当您在 global.conf 或任何 profile 中组合工具配置时，也可以使用一些额外的运算符

  • += == append：将值附加到现有值的末尾（仅用于列表）。

  • =+ == prepend：将值放在现有值的开头（仅用于列表）。

  • *= == update：仅更新指定的键，保持其余部分不变（仅用于字典）

  • =! == unset：删除任何配置值。

global.conf
# Define the value => ["-f1"]
user.myconf.build:flags=["-f1"]

# Append the value ["-f2"] => ["-f1", "-f2"]
user.myconf.build:flags+=["-f2"]

# Prepend the value ["-f0"] => ["-f0", "-f1", "-f2"]
user.myconf.build:flags=+["-f0"]

# Unset the value
user.myconf.build:flags=!

# Define the value => {"a": 1, "b": 2}
user.myconf.build:other={"a": 1, "b": 2}

# Update b = 4 => {"a": 1, "b": 4}
user.myconf.build:other*={"b": 4}

配置模式

您可以使用软件包模式将配置应用于那些匹配的依赖项

*:tools.cmake.cmaketoolchain:generator=Ninja
zlib/*:tools.cmake.cmaketoolchain:generator=Visual Studio 16 2019

此示例向您展示了如何为除 zlib 之外的所有软件包指定通用 generator，zlib 将 Visual Studio 16 2019 定义为其 generator。

除此之外，需要特别说明的是顺序很重要。因此，如果我们更改上面配置行的顺序

zlib/*:tools.cmake.cmaketoolchain:generator=Visual Studio 16 2019
*:tools.cmake.cmaketoolchain:generator=Ninja

结果是您正在为所有软件包指定通用 generator，仅此而已。zlib 行无效，因为它首先被评估，并且在那之后，Conan 使用最通用的模式覆盖了该特定模式，因此值得特别注意顺序。

关于内置配置的信息

本节提供有关特定配置的额外信息。

网络配置

客户端证书配置

Conan 支持客户端 TLS 证书。您可以使用以下配置变量配置 Cacert 文件和/或客户端证书（以及密钥）的路径

  • core.net.http:cacert_path：包含自定义 Cacert 文件的路径。

  • core.net.http:client_cert：包含客户端证书（和密钥）的文件路径或元组。有关更多详细信息，请参阅 Python requests 和客户端证书

例如

[CONAN_HOME]/global.conf
core.net.http:cacert_path=/path/to/cacert.pem
core.net.http:client_cert=('/path/client.cert', '/path/client.key')

另请参阅

  • tools.files.download:verify：设置 tools.files.download:verify=False 如果启用，则构成安全风险，因为它禁用了证书验证。除非您了解其含义（即使那样，将配置正确地限定到仅所需的 recipe 也是一个好主意），或者您将其用于开发目的，否则请勿使用它

UX 配置

跳过警告

Conan 在某些情况下会输出一些警告，可以通过 core:skip_warnings 配置，将警告标签添加到其值来省略这些警告。

这些警告是

  • deprecated：已弃用功能的 сообщения，例如旧版 generators

  • network：与网络问题相关的 сообщения，例如重试
