conanfile usage

[forgottosave]

Hello :)
I have a question regarding the conanfile integration. I use the ftxui/5.0.0 requirement and implement it just like I do with GTest.

Error

After calling conan install .. --build=missing in the build directory everything works and all ftxui[...].cmake get placed in /build/Release/generators (just like all GTest[...].cmake files).
Unfortunately cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DCMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE=ON .. results in the following error message:

Do you have any idea, what I might have done wrong? Should there be a Findftxui.cmake, just like there is for GTest? Or is there any example-project using a conanfile with ftxui?

I wasn't sure if I should create an issue for this, since it can be, that I'm just too confused to use it properly ;)

Thanks!

I never used Conan.
Here is a repo using conan+FTXUI:

Does is fixes your issue?

Alternatively, I see from the conan tutorial that you need to pass "-DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=conan_toolchain.cmake" for cmake to understand what conan setup.
