Automation of setting up the library

[yourWaifu]

Currently The user needs to follow these instructions https://yourwaifu.github.io/sleepy-discord/compile.html. However, this can be and should be automated, so that compiling or setting up the library is a more painless process. Once the library is downloaded, the user should just need to do a few things like maybe running a script and then hit compile to get up and running.

There are few things I need for this to work the way I want it to. Here's a list of things I want to have for automating the seting up the deps folder

• Users should be able to choose libraries (like CPR, Websocketpp, or uWebSockets)
• Users can choose to use no libraries if they wish. That should be easy, just make automation not a requirement
• Works on Windows, macOS, and Linux
• Download the libraries for the user and the libraries' needed libraries and compile them if they need to be compiled to compile Sleepy Discord

Compiling Sleepy Discord should be separate, because you only need to set up the deps folder once and Visual Studio has already automated compiling the library.

There have been a few people that tried tackling this issue, however none of their solutions hits all of the above.

Well, while i did my run, the only problem i found was with OpenSSL, cause compiling it requires a lot of stuff(well not really), for the other stuff, a .bat script would be more than enough(atleast on Windows).

It could be maybe a simple c++ program that detects the OS, and from there chooses the right script(.bat, bash, no idea for macOS). And, i'm not sure about "Users can choose to use no libraries if they wish" because some are really needed like openSSL and ASIO(expecially this one, since you need to add a lot of PREPROCESSOR DEFINITIONS for it to work out of the box). Anyways, thanks for this amazing project, it's a timesaver.

"Users can choose to use no libraries if they wish" It's is possible use the library without OpenSSL or ASIO, here's an example of an app that does that.

I'm currently I working on a python script that will do the trick. I'll commit it once I get a working version.

I just got these to work

• CPR
• Websocketpp
• Windows

[yourWaifu]

Currently, there are issues with getting OpenSSL working since it is harder to unzip 7z files in python.

@SLASHLogin I can't see how that's happening because os.rename("deps/cpr/opt/curl-master", "deps/cpr/opt/curl") should have renamed that folder. So, I found that really strange.

Me also, anyway I will do few more tests with this so I will know does this problem occur every time.

[xx1182]

Ok, i know this May ne not an usual thing. But does wishing you well, Will affect results? Will the development be better? I'm saying this from a learning standpoint, cause, when i eat something made from someone that cares seem better. Feel free to test and share results. I likenyou

About curl - I made tests and I think it was a one-time accident. But during the test in own (random) folder and just C: drive setup.py wrote Generating prerequisite files * C:\yourWaifu-sleepy-discord-98f52a3\deps\cpr\opt\curl\Makefile * C:\yourWaifu-sleepy-discord-98f52a3\deps\cpr\opt\curl\src\tool_hugehelp.c

Warning: The curl manual could not be integrated in the source. This means when you build curl the manual will not be available (curl --man). Integration of the manual is not required and a summary of the options will still be available (curl --help). To integrate the manual your PATH is required to have groff/nroff, perl and optionally gzip for compression. This is going to take a while

• but luckily nothing bad happend just took little bit more time.
• according to https://yourwaifu.github.io/sleepy-discord/compile.html - folder with Websocket++ and asio should be in deps, but they're in deps/include so page needs corrections (and openSSL is also in deps/include - but it's written " merge (or move) the include folder with the include folder in deps." So to sum up, setup.py works very good, but there's few things to change on the website

[yourWaifu]

@SLASHLogin oh thank you for reporting that

Also, I noticed that you will need the dlls for openssl with this. Which can be found here. https://github.com/David-Reguera-Garcia-Dreg/Precompiled-OpenSSL-Windows/tree/master/openssl-1.1.0e-vs2015/bin I plan on fixing this

I have already made one commit, now just changing few things and making pull req.

When I get around to playing with this library, I'll port it over to CMake and git submodules. That will make setup.py redundant, since the dependencies (except for OpenSSL) can just be embedded as git submodules. Since both cpr and websocket++ are built with CMake themselves, adding them to the build should become as trivial as add_subdirectory(cpr) followed by target_link_libraries(sleepydiscord cpr), and they will be downloaded automatically in the right version when cloning or getting a zip of the sleepy-discord repo.

[yourWaifu]

@tinybarks Does CMake and git submodules allow the user to choose the librarys they want to download? Sleepy Discord doesn't require any librarys and I want to keep that way. Just making sure before it is ported over because you weren't the only one that suggested the idea to me.

[tinybarks]

@yourWaifu Yep, you can add flags to the build to enable disable building and/or linking specific libraries.
