+A bunch of conan recipes to package C++ libraries. The packages of those recipes can be found at https://bintray.com/minres/conan-repo
+
+
+# How to build the packages on your own
+
+Install https://github.com/conan-io/conan-package-tools to build all needed combinations
+
+## Seasocks
+
+to build all variations run
+
+```
+cd Seasocks
+CONAN_USER=<username> CONAN_CHANNEL=<channel name> python build.py
+```
+
+to build a specific variant run the following commands:
+
+```
+conan test_package Seasocks/1.3.2@<username>/<channel name>  -s build_type=<build type> -s compiler.libcxx=<libstdc++ variant>
+```
+
+## SystemC
+
+download the SystemC distribution from http://www.accellera.org/downloads/standards/systemc and unpack into the SystemC directory
+
+```
+cd SystemC
+CONAN_USER=<usernam> CONAN_CHANNEL=<channel name> python build.py
+```
+
+to build a specific variant run the following command
+
+```
+conan test_package SystemC/2.3.2@minres/<channel name>  -o SystemC:stdcxx=<c++ std variant> -s build_type=<build type>
+```
+
+where <c++ std variant> is one of 98, 11, or 14
+
+## SystemC Verification library
+
+download the SystemC distribution from http://www.accellera.org/downloads/standards/systemc and unpack into the SystemCVerification directory and apply the patch scv4systemc-2.3.2.patch
+
+```
+cd SystemCVerification
+CONAN_USER=<usernam> CONAN_CHANNEL=<channel name> python build.py
