The conan-ue4cli Python package is a plugin for ue4cli that provides functionality for integrating third-party libraries into Unreal Engine projects and plugins using the Conan C++ package management system. conan-ue4cli extends Conan for use with the Unreal Engine by providing functionality to facilitate the following workflow:
-
Conan packages are generated to wrap all Unreal-bundled third-party libraries, as well as the compiler toolchain itself when targeting Linux platforms.
-
Conan profiles are generated to ensure user packages are built with the correct configuration and against the wrapper packages for the Unreal-bundled versions of any dependency libraries.
-
Packages are built using the generated profiles.
-
Boilerplate code is generated for External Modules that consume the built Conan packages.
-
Optionally, precomputed dependency data is generated for one or more target platforms so Unreal projects or plugins that consume third-party libraries can be shared with other developers who do not have conan-ue4cli installed.
