Dependencies

This project relies on four dependencies:

• inih
  • A header-only config file handle (https://github.com/jtilly/inih)
• spdlog
  • A fast thread-safe logging library (https://github.com/gabime/spdlog)
• rpclib
  • A simple c++ RPC library (http://rpclib.net/)
• picosha2
  • The PicoSHA2 SHA-256 hash generator (https://github.com/okdshin/PicoSHA2)

environment prep

You must use the same compiler to build the rpc library as you use for the rest of your project, otherwise you will get a series of errors. Thus to start working on the project, you need to re-build the rpc library.

To rebuild the library, do the following:

1. cd dependencies/src
2. tar -xzf cmake-3.13.2-Linux-x86_64.tar.gz
3. tar -xzf rpclib.tar.gz
4. cd rpclib
5. mkdir build
6. cd build
7. ../../cmake-3.13.2-Linux-x86_64/bin/cmake ..
8. ../../cmake-3.13.2-Linux-x86_64/bin/cmake --build .

• (note the dot after --build)

1. cp librpc.a ../../../lib/

OK you should be set. Proceed to testing your starter code.

Usage

Run server in a window

• ./ssd myconfig.ini

In another window, run the client:
