conan_cmake_run with OPTIONS

[ShamanTcler]

Conan version: 1.26.0 Conan Cmake :0.15.0

Trying to build a library called qwt which needs qt. Qt has a LOT of options many do not affect the library.

I am having multiple issues.

This is what I am trying:

conan_cmake_run(
		REQUIRES
                    qt/5.12.8@bincrafters/stable
                OPTIONS
                    Qt5:qtsvg=TRUE
                    Qt5:qtcharts=ANY
                    Qt5:qtdeclarative=ANY
                    Qt5:qtqscript=ANY
                    Qt5:qtwebengine=ANY
                    Qt5:qtwinextras=ANY
                IMPORTS
		    ${CONANIMPORTS}
                BASIC_SETUP
                   CMAKE_TARGETS
                )

Now the values for say are T/F ... but I have seen ANY used before. Is this a viable option for things we just don't care about?

Assuming it is not viable I tried

conan_cmake_run(
		REQUIRES
                    qt/5.12.8@bincrafters/stable
                OPTIONS
                    Qt5:qtsvg=TRUE
                    Qt5:qtcharts=TRUE
                    Qt5:qtdeclarative=TRUE
                    Qt5:qtqscript=TRUE
                    Qt5:qtwebengine=TRUE
                    Qt5:qtwinextras=TRUE
                IMPORTS
		    ${CONANIMPORTS}
                BASIC_SETUP
                   CMAKE_TARGETS
                )

And Conan says it can find a library to satisfy my needs .... The first two bold is it setting qtcharts and qtsvg to FALSE when I set it to TRUE in the call above. Then it tosses in some caches status in the middle of the options value list.

As you can see working with a large number of options is quite tedious.

A few issues I have come across:

• Finding the namespace of Qt5 vs Qt
• Qt5:qtsvg vs Qt5::qtsvg
• the best way to examine option lists is put "have" and "want" values in sorted list and diff them

To summarize:

• Would like the ANY value on options that make no difference ... is that possible
• Why when the values are set are they ignored
