Before compiling make sure you have all the tools installed.
brew install cmake
.brew install openssl
For voice support, additional dependencies are required:
brew install libsodium opus
cmake -B ./build cmake --build ./build -j8
Replace the number after -j with a number suitable for your setup, usually the same as the number of cores on your machine. cmake
will fetch any dependencies that are required for you and ensure they are compiled alongside the library.
cd build; sudo make install
If you want to install the library, its dependencies and header files to a different directory, specify this directory when running cmake
:
cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/path/to/install
Then once the build is complete, run make install
to install to the location you specified.
Once installed, you can make use of the library in standalone programs simply by including it and linking to it:
clang++ -std=c++17 -ldpp mydppbot.cpp -o dppbot
The important flags in this command-line are:
-std=c++17
- Required to compile the headers-ldpp
- Link to libdpp.dylibmydppbot.cpp
- Your source codedppbot
- The name of the executable to makeOf course, this is just a proof of concept - you should really use a more robust build system like GNU make
or `cmake`.
If you are having trouble setting up CMake, you can try our template bot.
Have fun!
