Setting values in settings.yml and in default profile related to compiler version.

[himansu2906]

Hello Team,

I am using old version of compiler (tricore-gcc, ver: 3.4) for my project, so to use conan, we had to update default profile and settings.yaml file with version number of old compiler.

default profile: [settings] os=Windows os_build=Windows arch=x86 arch_build=x86 compiler=gcc compiler.version=3.4 compiler.libcxx=libstdc++ build_type=Release [options] [build_requires] [env]

settings.yaml value in compiler section: added 3.4 as version number in compiler version

issue: we want to update these file automatically with desired value with the help of CLI commands or by any other method so that it can be easily integrated in DevOps pipeline without manual intervention.

Thanks & Regards, Himanshu

Hi @himansu2906

We have a command specifically for this: conan config install.

You put the things you want in a github repo (including settings.yml, profiles, remotes, conf, etc), or in a zip file in a http server, and install it your developer machines and CI with one single command conan config install <url>

First, overriding default profile is not great, because it will change from machine to machine. You want to use your own named osx, linux_xyz, etc profiles in the general case.

The profiles should be in a "profiles" folder

Hi, even if I am renaming the file and putting in profile folder inside config folder, it is not copying files to profiles folder. it is creating another folder config inside .conan folder and putting all the profile files inside that.

If you are putting things in a repo, then you don't name the root folder the "config" folder. The layout of the repo or zip to conan config install should be the same as the Conan cache, that means a profiles folder in the root.

Closing the ticket as staled, I guess that you managed to make it work putting it in the right folder. If not, please re-open or create a new ticket for any further question. Thanks!
