(Installation) ERROR: Invalid setting '13' is not a valid 'settings.compiler.version'

[patrickwalton]

I'm on a new laptop with intel processor on Fedora 38 (linux kernel 6.4.4). I'm pretty sure I installed all dependencies, but I'm running into the following error:

Here are the compiler settings referenced in the error:

It looks like Conan <= 1.60.0 doesn't work with GCC 13. Are there plans to support an upgrade beyond conan 1.59.0?

If I try to just add 13 to the gcc versions, I get the following errors:

CMake Deprecation Warning at CMakeLists.txt:4 (cmake_minimum_required):
  Compatibility with CMake < 3.5 will be removed from a future version of
  CMake.

  Update the VERSION argument <min> value or use a ...<max> suffix to tell
  CMake that the project does not need compatibility with older versions.

Okay, I followed this tutorial to downgrade gcc on Fedora 38 and I put gcc-12.2 in front of my path as suggested here. After this, installation seems to have worked.

I'm going to open an issue for conan upgrade, since new linux distros are now becoming incompatible.
