Build VCVRack with Conan and CMake + add CI

Development
13

Is this the latest version of the conan build instructions? I’m trying to replicate your work on my Windows 10 development VM, and so far so good until I try to generate a VS solution.

Here is my $HOME\.conan\profiles\mingw:

[settings]
os=Windows
os_build=Windows
arch=x86_64
arch_build=x86_64
compiler=gcc
compiler.version=8
compiler.exception=seh
compiler.libcxx=libstdc++11
compiler.threads=posix
build_type=Release
[options]
[build_requires]
mingw_installer/1.0@conan/stable
msys2_installer/latest@bincrafters/stable
[env]

Here’s the commands I run:

conan install .. --profile mingw --build=missing
cmake -G "Visual Studio 16 2019" ..

and here’s the output I get:

Seems like it’s not finding gcc for some reason. I don’t have any experience with conan, but from the build_requires config section it would appear that the gcc installation is handled by conan?
