Building

Depending on your platform (Windows/Linux), Hadouken have different prerequisites. Common for all platforms is CMake, so make sure you have CMake (>= v2.8) installed and available in your path.

Windows

Building on Windows requires Visual Studio 2013. Dependencies will be pulled from NuGet at build time.

PS> .\win32\build.ps1

This will build and package Hadouken as well as output .zip and .msi files in the .\win32\build\out\Release folder.

Linux

Building on Linux (Ubuntu) requires libssl-dev, libboost-system-dev, and then you need to manually compile both Rasterbar-libtorrent (>= v1.0.3) and Poco (>= v1.6.0)

Next, run,

$ mkdir cmake-build && cd cmake-build
$ cmake .. && make
