In the following example we assume you have the kddockwidgets source available in /path/to/kddockwidgets-source. replace '/path/to/kddockwidgets-source' to fit your needs. $ conan create -s build_type=Release -o kddockwidgets:build_examples=True -o kddockwidgets:build_tests=True /path/to/kddockwidgets-source/conan kdab/stable Configuration options: * build_static Builds static versions of the libraries. Default=False * build_tests Build the test harness. Default=False * build_examples Build the examples. Default=True * builde_python_bindings Build/Generate python bindings (always false for Debug or static builds). Default=False
