How To Build

Note:
We are currently in the process of switch our builds and pipelines to an approach which uses Conan and pip to manage our dependencies, which are stored on our JFrog Artifactory server and in the pypi.org. At the moment not everything is fully ported yet, so bare with us.

If you have never used Conan read their documentation which is quite extensive and well maintained. Conan is a Python program and can be installed using pip

1. Configure Conan

pip install conan --upgrade
conan config install https://github.com/lulzbot3d/conan-config-le.git
conan profile new default --detect --force

Community developers would have to remove the Conan cura-le repository because it requires credentials.

LulzBot developers need to request an account for our JFrog Artifactory server with IT

conan remote remove cura-le

2. Clone libSavitarLE

git clone https://github.com/lulzbot3d/libSavitarLE.git
cd libSavitarLE

3. Install & Build libSavitarLE (Release OR Debug)

Release

conan install . --build=missing --update
# optional for a specific version: conan install . savitarle/<version>@<user>/<channel> --build=missing --update
cmake --preset release
cmake --build --preset release

Debug

conan install . --build=missing --update build_type=Debug
cmake --preset debug
cmake --build --preset debug

Creating a new SavitarLE Conan package

To create a new SavitarLE Conan package such that it can be used in CuraLE and UraniumLE, run the following command:

conan create . savitarle/<version>@<username>/<channel> --build=missing --update

This package will be stored in the local Conan cache (~/.conan/data or C:\Users\username\.conan\data ) and can be used in downstream projects, such as CuraLE and UraniumLE by adding it as a requirement in the conanfile.py or in conandata.yml.

Note: Make sure that the used <version> is present in the conandata.yml in the pySavitarLE root

You can also specify the override at the commandline, to use the newly created package, when you execute the conan install command in the root of the consuming project, with:

conan install . -build=missing --update --require-override=savitarle/<version>@<username>/<channel>

Developing libSavitarLE In Editable Mode

You can use your local development repository downsteam by adding it as an editable mode package. This means you can test this in a consuming project without creating a new package for this project every time.

    conan editable add . savitarle/<version>@<username>/<channel>

Then in your downsteam projects (CuraLE) root directory override the package with your editable mode package.

conan install . -build=missing --update --require-override=savitarle/<version>@<username>/<channel>
