Using conan_cmake_run() to obtain an executable target ?

[memsharded]

The thing is that conan generated targets are INTERFACE IMPORTED targets, for the whole package. A package can typically contains several libraries and executables, and conan does not have explicit notion about them. So that seems expected, you cannot use them as commands. You have the paths info, in the target and in conan variables, so for executing gpcbin2c executable, you could just get the absolute path to it. Another approach, would be the package to add itself to the environment PATH, then execute directly COMMAND gpbin2c (or the name of the exe)

Thank you! I may be exploring this some more; right now, I've gone back to executing conan install manually, and making use of virtualenv and virtualbuildenv. The latter seems to have a problem, so I may file an issue soon.
