View source for Getting stuff to build with conan

==Building against boost==
Using package e.g. from '''Boost/1.64.0@conan/stable''' from Remote: conan-community=https://api.bintray.com/conan/conan-community/conan.

===ABI Changes===

Symptom: linker errors, specifically for functions that have std::string arguments or return types. This is due to the fact that gcc (as of gcc5?) defines the libstdc++11 standard classes to be in a namespace such as <code>std::__cxx11::</code> With default configuration conan will define '''_GLIBCXX_USE_CXX11_ABI=0''' when building boost, which will use the older libstdc++. This conflicts with regular builds on gcc5+.

Either define the following in CMakeLists.txt (not recommended)
<code>
add_definitions(-D_GLIBCXX_USE_CXX11_ABI=0)
</code>
or use <code>settings.compiler.libcxx = libstdc++11</code>, either in ~/.conan/conan.conf or on the command line (-s)
