Have you read the CONTRIBUTING guide?

Hi @Rajan251,
Thanks for the question.
It seems that the recipe you are using is written for Conan 1.X but not compatible for Conan 2.
I see that this is related to the opentdf client, and we have a recipe compatible with Conan 2 in Conan Center, maybe you can use that one, check the ones available doing:

➜  conan search opentdf-client
Found 27 pkg/version recipes matching opentdf-client in conancenter
conancenter
  opentdf-client
    ...
    opentdf-client/1.5.0
    opentdf-client/1.5.3
    opentdf-client/1.5.4
    opentdf-client/1.5.6

Hope this helps.

Any feedback here @Rajan251? Is the question solved, can we close the ticket?

Thanks for reverting @czoido, I am using this version :

root@open:/home/opentdf/client-cpp/src# conan --version
Conan version 2.3.0-dev

Issue: Running the script build-all.sh results in an error.
Error Message:

ERROR: Error loading conanfile at '/home/opentdf/client-cpp/src/conanfile.py': Unable to load conanfile in /home/opentdf/client-cpp/src/conanfile.py

ImportError: cannot import name 'ConanFile' from 'conans' (/home/opentdf/conan-io/conans/__init__.py)

Context: This error occurs specifically in the line conan install .. --build=missing within the build-all.sh script.

can you please provide updatated documention for installation process.

[memsharded]

If you want to use Conan 1, you should be installing Conan 1.
With pip it will be something like pip install conan==1.64.0. If you are downloading the installer you have all versions in Github: https://github.com/conan-io/conan/releases.

In any case, Conan 1 is legacy now, it is strongly recommended to update to Conan 2, which was released more than 1 year ago now.

Hi memsharded,

refer the issue raised, while checking the version , this is showing

root@open:/home/opentdf/client-cpp/src# conan --version
Conan version 2.3.0-dev

do you mean we should use Conan version 1 and not 2 ?

[memsharded]

You should try to use Conan 2, because it is now the mainstream, supported and recommended version.

But you are trying to load an old recipe that works only with Conan 1.X, so you cannot use Conan 2 for it, and you must install Conan 1.X if you want to use this recipe without modernizing it.

[Rajan251]

Thankyou @memsharded.
please guide how to get modernized recipe based on Conan 2 was trying to find the same all this while.
