How to build

As easy as:

set PATH=%PATH%;C:\Program Files\7-Zip\

set DEPS_LOCAL_PATH=build/deps

ci\download_deps.bat
ci\localization_prepare_binaries.cmd

cmake -H"." -B"build" -G"Visual Studio 17 2022" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo -A x64 -DCMAKE_DEPS_DIR=%CD%/build/deps -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="%CD%/build/distribute/a-file-updater"

cmake --build build --target install --config RelWithDebInfo

This project depends on a few third party libraries.

• OpenSSL 1.1.x
• Boost 1.79.0 (system, filesystem, thread, regex, and headers for asio, beast, iostreams, core, util)
• zlib 1.2.x

Prepackaged binaries of this libraries will be downloaded by ci\download_deps.bat and put inside build/deps

In order to build, set the above variables (see CMake find_package documentation for more flexible hints) and then run cmake however you want. A C++17 comformant compiler is required. Outside of that, as long as the dependencies are met and compatible, you can use whatever compiler you want.

Openssl build from source

• clone https://github.com/openssl
• install perl. download from http://strawberryperl.com/
• in console check perl and setup VC env perl --version "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\VC\Auxiliary\Build\vcvars64.bat"
• configure to build 64 static lib perl Configure VC-WIN64A no-asm no-shared --prefix=C:\work\libs\openssl-lib-vvv-x64\
• build and install nmake nmake test && nmake install
• make an archive from install path

Localization

Boost.locale lib with a gettext format used for a localization. mo files included in exe by windows resources.

Commands

ci\localization_prepare_binaries.cmd - prepares mo files with current translation

ci\localization_set_translations.cmd - update po files with current strings from source code

Add new language

• Add new lang code into ci\localization_get_tools.cmd and run ci\localization_set_translations.cmd
• Translate lines inside locale\NEW_LANG\LC_MESSAGES\messages.po
• Add new mo file to resources\slobs-updater.rc
• Add it to locales_resources map inside get_messages_callback()
• Prepare binaries ci\localization_prepare_binaries.cmd
• Make a new build
• Do not forget to commit locale\NEW_LANG\LC_MESSAGES\messages.po
• to test set LANG=fr_FR
