ABOUT

---

• App: ofxWebsocketpp

Description:

• websocketpp wrapper for OpenFrameworks. Wrapper client runs in it's own thread, server allows multiple threads. Server has configurable pool threads (operate on server in/out) and worker threads (handle the of callback side work).

Documentation

• Example client, server, and client-server.
• All examples are obvious, the client-server example needs the client part in testApp.cpp commented out and then client and server will send messages back and forth nonstop.

SETUP

---

Hardware Requirements:

• A computer of sorts.

Dependencies:

• Boost. Tested for OS X @ 1.50 (what I had installed), Win 7 @ 1.47 (per websocketpp recommendation)
• websocketpp @ commit 27a6d6f4d337c254c732df57531e9bc3d37d70d8

Installation

• Install boost. HomeBrew or MacPorts, or just download.
  • OS X, edit the Project.xcconfig file so that BOOST_LIBS_PATHS and BOOST_HEADERS point to the appropriate locations.
  • Visual studio, open up project properties and configure the C/C++ "Additional Include Directories" as well as Linker "Additional Library Directories" to point to your boost folder
    • Examples (C:\boost for headers) (C:\boost\stage\lib or C:\boost\lib for libraries)
• Checkout the websocketpp submodule
  • git submodule update

Compilation

• Start with the base examples. You depend on the websocketpp headers
