edisongustavo commented on issue #13400: [MXNET-1229] use OpenBLAS, lapack & OpenCV from conan URL: https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/pull/13400#issuecomment-461046247 If we add Conan support like this won't it require a connection to the conan artifacts repository while building? My main issue with Conan is that it "spreads over" your Cmake files (like it did in this case). It looks like it is an "all or nothing" solution. Wwhat would happen if I **do want** to compile against the dependencies of my operating system? Could I do that? # Alternative An alternative to provide all dependencies is to use conda (disclaimer: I'm a big conda fan). If we have a conda-environment file declaring all the dependencies, then the steps would be: ``` $ cd <mxnet-source-directory> $ conda env create -f environment.yml -n mxnet-compilation-dependencies $ conda activate mxnet-compilation-dependencies $ mkdir build $ cmake -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=$CONDA_PREFIX .. $ make ``` # Cool, but I want Conan! I agree that adding Conan support is important, but let's think about it more thoroughly and not let it "spread over" the cmake files. Let's think more deeply in how to add Conan support into Mxnet.
