Visual Studio Extension - Conan C/C++ Package Manager

[zxuan99]

What is your question?

Hi, I would like to ask about the visual studio extension.

May I check if it is possible to link the list of libraries in the extension to my private server instead of the conan center?

Have you read the CONTRIBUTING guide?

Hi @zxuan99,

Thanks a lot for your question.
I'm moving this to the https://github.com/conan-io/conan-vs-extension repo that is the repo dedicated to the extension.

Right now we don't have plans to support that feature, what you can always do is modifying the generated conandata. yml and add your private dependencies there. Would that be a valid workaround for you?

Supporting listing private repos packages in the list that appears in the plugin would make things more complicated as we would have to populate that list using Conan (right now we use a static json file that we regenerate from time to time) and compromise the extension stability which we want to keep as simple as we can.

Hope this helps.

HI @czoido I realized that there is quite a number of "build errors" when I compile my projects but these are actually false alarms. Able to resolve it in the next commit?

Hi @esswl,

Thanks for the question. Since your comment seems to be unrelated to the original topic of this issue, could you please open a new, separate issue?

In order for us to help you, we will need more information about those "build errors" to understand what might be happening. Please make sure to include details such as:

• Conan version and Extension version
• Steps to reproduce the issue
• The specific error logs you are seeing

If you can provide those details in a new issue, we'll be happy to take a look! Thanks.
