Conan is an open-source dependency management tool for C/C++ applications. It provides an intuitive interface for defining, fetching and managing dependencies which makes it easy for developers to integrate third-party libraries into their projects. Conan works across all major operating systems and can target a variety of platforms, including servers and desktop, mobile and embedded devices. It can also be used for building and publishing C/C++ libraries and packages. The packages can be shared across teams via JFrog Artifactory servers. By leveraging prebuilt binaries, it significantly reduces build times, especially for hefty dependencies. Conan integrates with popular build systems like CMake and also has a Python SDK for extending the build system for tasks like signing. In our experience, Conan translates to improved build reproducibility across environments and faster development cycles. The resulting codebases are cleaner and easier to maintain, a major win for large-scale projects. If you're wrestling with dependency management in your C or C++ projects, Conan is a must-consider tool to boost your development efficiency.
