conan conan lib packge dll,conan exe use

What is your question?

Requirement: I want to package a third party dll with Conan so that other Conan clients can use the third party dll directly Refer to the official link: https://docs.conan.io/2/tutorial/creating_packages/other_types_of_packages/package_prebuilt_binaries.html Docwnload the official code, use the prebuilt_binaries project, terminal conan export -pgg. -s os="Windows" -s arch="x86_64" Conan list hello/0.1#:* to see the hello package

Then set Conan exe conanfile.py

cmakelists.txt add find_package(hello REQUIRED)

But an error was reported while building

Could you please help us see what the problem is, or what other methods are available

Have you read the CONTRIBUTING guide?

Hi @jun9090

Thanks for your feedback.

It is likely that you are not exporting the static "import-lib" (and maybe not the headers). It would be good to have:

The full exact command, conan export -pgg. -s os="Windows" -s arch="x86_64" seems incorrect, I guess it will be conan export-pkg instead.
The full output of that command
The contents (list of folders and files) of the final package, you can see the folder with conan cache path hello/0.1:52222..(fullpackageid)

Please try to copy and paste the output as text, it helps so I can search, copy it, etc.

Thank you for your reply I made sure Conan executed the command correctly the command ：conan export-pkg . -s os="Windows" -s arch="x86_64" -s build_type=Debug
output:

conanfile.py:

The exe then calls lib, conanfile.py: def requirements(self): self.requires("slc-ndilib/1.0") cmakeLists.txt

the command :conan build . --output-folder=build --build=missing -s build_type=Debug output error: What is the reason? Looking forward to your reply

Thanks for your feedback and details.

It is weird, are you completely sure you used that conanfile.py? Because it doesn't make sense to me that it is complaining about library slc-ndilib when you have in the conanfile.py the other long name. Sure you didn't change the package_info() method after the initial conan export-pkg?

A couple of important details.

You want to put package_type = "static-library" in your package, to specify which type it is
The package() is actually packaging 2 libraries .lib, please check the output, this is likely undesired (Please try to share the feedback by copy&paste the text, not as images, as that helps searching for text and reading more clearly)
Dots in library names can be problematic sometimes. Conan generators try to handle that, but we know it might be problematic. I am not saying this is the issue, but it is worth checking, renaming to use _ instead of the dots for example, (also change the recipe) and try again.

Hi @jun9090

Any further feedback here? If this is still an issue even if applying the comments above, I'd suggest to create a fully reproducible example, putting it in a Github repo you can share with us, so we can properly investigate and advice. Thanks for your feedback.
