This page explains how to set Crow up for use with your project.
|
|
|
|
|
|
##Requirements
|
|
- C++ compiler with C++14 support.
|
|
- Continuous Testing on g++-9.3 and clang-7.0, AMD64 (x86_64) and Arm64 v8
|
|
- boost library (1.70 or later).
|
|
- (optional) CMake and Python3 to build tests and/or examples.
|
|
- (optional) Linking with jemalloc/tcmalloc is recommended for speed.
|

##Installing Requirements
|
|
###Ubuntu
|
|
`sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev`
|
|
|
|
###OSX
|
|
`brew install boost`
|
|
|
|
###Windows
|
|
Download boost from [here](https://www.boost.org/) and install it
|
|
|
|
##Downloading
|
|
Either run `git clone https://github.com/crowcpp/crow.git` or download `crow_all.h` from the releases section. You can also download a zip of the project on github.
|
|
|
|
##Includes folder
|
|
1. Copy the `/includes` folder to your project's root folder.
|
|
2. Add `#!cpp #include "path/to/includes/crow.h"` to your `.cpp` file.
|
|
3. For any middlewares, add `#!cpp #include "path/to/includes/middlewares/some_middleware.h"`.
|
|
<br><br>
|
|
|
|
##Single header file
|
|
If you've downloaded `crow_all.h`, you can skip to step 4.
|
|
|
|
1. Make sure you have python 3 installed.
|
|
2. Open a terminal (or `cmd.exe`) instance in `/path/to/crow/scripts`.
|
|
3. Run `python merge_all.py ../include crow_all.h` (replace `/` with `\` if you're on Windows).
|
|
4. Copy the `crow_all.h` file to where you put your libraries (if you don't know where this is, you can put it anywhere).
|
|
5. Add `#!cpp #include "path/to/crow_all.h"` to your `.cpp` file.
|
|
<br><br>
|
|
**Note**: All middlewares are included with the merged header file, if you would like to include or exclude middlewares use the `-e` or `-i` arguments.

##building via CLI
|
|
To build a crow Project, do the following:
|
|
|
|
###GCC (G++)
|
|
- Release: `g++ main.cpp -lpthread -lboost_system`.
|
|
- Debug: `g++ main.cpp -ggdb -lpthread -lboost_system -D CROW_ENABLE_DEBUG`.
|
|
- SSL: `g++ main.cpp -lssl -lcrypto -lpthread -lboost_system -D CROW_ENABLE_SSL`.
|
|
|
|
###Clang
|
|
- Release: `clang++ main.cpp -lpthread -lboost_system`.
|
|
- Debug: `clang++ main.cpp -g -lpthread -lboost_system -DCROW_ENABLE_DEBUG`.
|
|
- SSL: `clang++ main.cpp -lssl -lcrypto -lpthread -lboost_system -DCROW_ENABLE_SSL`.
|
|
|
|
###Microsoft Visual Studio
|
|
***Help needed***
|
|
|
|
|
|
##building via CMake
|
|
Add the following to your `CMakeLists.txt`:
|
|
``` cmake linenums="1"
|
|
find_package(Threads)
|
|
find_package(OpenSSL)
|
|
|
|
if(OPENSSL_FOUND)
|
|
include_directories(${OPENSSL_INCLUDE_DIR})
|
|
endif()
|
|
|
|
if (NOT CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE)
|
|
message(STATUS "No build type selected, default to Release")
|
|
set(CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE "Release")
|
|
endif()
|
|
|
|
if (MSVC)
|
|
set(Boost_USE_STATIC_LIBS "On")
|
|
find_package( Boost 1.70 COMPONENTS system thread regex REQUIRED )
|
|
else()
|
|
find_package( Boost 1.70 COMPONENTS system thread REQUIRED )
|
|
endif()
|
|
|
|
include_directories(${Boost_INCLUDE_DIR})
|
|
|
|
set(PROJECT_INCLUDE_DIR ${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/include)
|
|
|
|
include_directories("${PROJECT_INCLUDE_DIR}")
|
|
```
|
|
**Note**: The last 2 lines are unnecessary if you're using `crow_all.h`.
|
|
|
|
##Building Crow tests and examples
|
|
Out-of-source build with CMake is recommended.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
mkdir build
|
|
cd build
|
|
cmake ..
|
|
make
|
|
```
|
|
Running Cmake will create `crow_all.h` file and place it in the build directory.
|
|
|
|
You can run tests with following commands:
|
|
```
|
|
ctest -V
|
|
```
