Using cmake

Linux

1. tools

sudo apt-get install build-essential g++ gdb cmake ninja-build

Windows

1. tools
   • Visual Studio
   • CMake
   • Ninja
   • VS Code
   • clion

Dependency Management via vcpkg

install vcpkg

1. On windows

   E:
   cd \
   git clone https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg.git vcpkg && cd vcpkg && bootstrap-vcpkg.bat
   setx VCPKG_ROOT "E:\vcpkg"
   setx PATH "%PATH%;E:\vcpkg"

2. On linux

   git clone https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg.git vcpkg && cd vcpkg && ./bootstrap-vcpkg.sh
   export VCPKG_ROOT=$PWD
   echo "export VCPKG_ROOT=$PWD" >> ~/.zshrc

3. create presets for windows and linux, see example in CMakePresets.json

4. install packages, this should update vcpkg.json file

   vcpkg install fmt
   vcpkg install spdlog # https://github.com/gabime/spdlog
   vcpkg install gtest
   vcpkg install cpp-httplib # https://github.com/yhirose/cpp-httplib
   vcpkg install nlohmann-json # https://github.com/nlohmann/json
   vcpkg install jwt-cpp # https://github.com/Thalhammer/jwt-cpp

Goals

1. how to use cmake for windows and linux
2. manage dependencies using vcpkg
3. implement logging and metrics
4. use jwt for authentication
5. use nlohmann-json for serialization
6. implement rest api using httplib
7. implement rest api using iis core on windows
