How to Build

Automatic build for Linux and Windows

For this to work on Windows you need to have access to a Unix shell, such as Git Bash or WSL as well as access to the make command.

In order to build both the client and the server, you can make the "all" rule:

$ make

In order to build the tests, make the "test" rule:

$ make test

Binaries can be found at:

./bin/Server
./bin/Client
./bin/Tests

Manual Build

For Linux

Delete the build folder if present:

$ rm -rf build

Then build the binaries:

$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ conan install . --build=missing
$ cmake .. -G "Unix Makefiles"
$ cmake --build . --config Release

For Windows

Delete the build folder if present:

$ Remove-Item 'build' -Recurse

Then build the binaries:

$ New-item -itemtype directory build
$ Set-Location build
$ conan install . --build=missing
$ cmake .. -G "Visual Studio 17"
$ cmake --build . --config Release
