This is a template github repository for creating a simple DisC++ ping bot using CMake. This branch is a template for the development DisC++ branch. Switch to the master branch to view a template for DisC++ master branch.

Compiling

Windows:

1. Clone this repository.
   • Note: You can also create a GitHub repository using this template and instead clone that; if you do, skip step i-ii.
   1. git clone https://github.com/DisCPP/cmake-bot-template.git
   2. cd cmake-bot-template
   3. git checkout development
   4. git submodule update --init --recursive
2. You need to install openssl from a source of your choosing. I recommend Chocolatey, but you can also use Vcpkg.
   • Chocolatey:
     1. Follow the guide on Chocolatey's website to install Chocolatey.
     2. Open a cmd window in administrator and run choco install openssl.
     3. Open the project in the IDE of your choice and have fun!
   • Vcpkg
     1. Install vcpkg onto the root of your C drive.
     2. Install dependencies by running command: vcpkg install openssl --triplet x64-windows.
     3. Then run vcpkg integrate install.
        • Should get an output similar to: "-DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=C:/vcpkg/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake".
        • Save the directory that was given (Ex. C:/vcpkg/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake).
     4. Open the CMake project in Visual Studio.
        • If you're using another IDE, you need to find out how you set the CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE CMake flag. After you do that, make sure your running a x64 compiler and then you can skip the rest of the steps.
        • On the welcome screen under the create a project or open project buttons, click Continue without code
        • Open the CMakeLists.txt by File > Open > Cmake
        • Browse to where you cloned the repository and double click on CMakeLists.txt file.
     5. Go into CMake settings and set the CMake toolchain to the directory you saved above.
        • Click on Project > CMake Settings
        • Scroll to the CMake toolchain file text box and enter the directory you saved.
     6. While inside CMake settings, make sure your compiling in x64-Debug.
        • Scroll to Toolset and set it to a x64 compiler of your choosing (ex: msvc_x64)
        • Only use MSVC on Windows!

   3. git checkout development
   4. git submodule update --init --recursive
2. You need to install openssl via a package manager.
   • Ubuntu/Debian: sudo apt install openssl -y
3. Open the project in the IDE of your choice and have fun!
