Resolves #206. Follow up to #108.
The change made in commit edd8962 enabled the user to override nmos-cpp's preferred
CMAKE_CXX_STANDARDon the CMake command line by setting that variable into the cache.More recently, we introduced a Conan recipe, with packages published at Conan Center Index. @pedro-alves-ferreira noticed that specifying
compiler.cppstd=17(as in How to manage C++ standard) was ignored on the first build.This turns out to be because Conan sets
CMAKE_CXX_STANDARDas a "normal" variable, and on first run, the current CMake behaviour is that setting it as a cache variable removes the normal variable. Using idiomatic existence checks on all theCMAKE_CXX_variables instead is the right way to solve this issue.This could be artificially demonstrated in GitHub Actions, but I haven't gone that far with this PR.
Once it's merged, there will still need to be a new Conan package version published.
