Assembly

This implementation depends on Boost.System, Boost.Asio, Google Log and Google Tests. Make dependencoes are cmake, make and git. Google Test is included into project dependencies as git submodule. So, to get sources one should clone repo recursively.

    git clone --recursive https://github.com/daskol/socks-proxy.git

And then one could start building as follows.

    mkdir -p build/release
    cd build/release
    cmake ../.. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
    make -j2

In order to install target binary to system path one should run following.

    make install
