CMake DisC++ Bot Template

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

State

DisCPP has been discontinued. Due to Discord's lack of communication and out-of-touch attitude towards library developers, this library is no longer being maintained. Recommended alternative is DPP.

Compiling

Windows:

1. Install vcpkg onto the root of your C drive.
2. Install dependencies by running command: vcpkg install rapidjson cpr 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. Clone this repository.
   • git clone https://github.com/DisCPP/cmake-bot-template.git
   • cd cmake-bot-template
   • git submodule update --init --recursive
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. 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!

Linux:

1. Install vcpkg at ~/
2. Install dependencies by running command: ./vcpkg install rapidjson cpr openssl --triplet x64-linux.
3. Then run vcpkg integrate install.
   • You should get an output similar to: "-DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=~/vcpkg/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake".
   • Save the file path that was given (Ex. ~/vcpkg/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake).
4. Clone this repository.
   • git clone https://github.com/DisCPP/cmake-bot-template.git
   • cd cmake-bot-template
   • git submodule update --init --recursive
5. In your IDE yo need to set your CMake toolchain. If you cant, you'll have to set the CMake flag CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE example: -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=~/vcpkg/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake
