How do I configure conanfile.py for dependencies for C++ projects?

Configuring a `conanfile.py` for managing dependencies in a C++ project is essential for streamlining the build process. This Python script allows you to define how your project is built, including its dependencies, settings, and configurations.

Example: Simple `conanfile.py` Configuration

from conans import ConanFile, CMake class MyProjectConan(ConanFile): name = "MyProject" version = "1.0" settings = "os", "compiler", "build_type", "arch" generators = "cmake" def requirements(self): self.requires("boost/1.75.0") self.requires("fmt/7.1.3") def configure(self): if self.settings.compiler == "Visual Studio" and self.settings.compiler.version < "15": raise ConanInvalidConfiguration("Requires Visual Studio 2017 or higher") def build(self): cmake = CMake(self) cmake.configure() cmake.build()
