\page buildfreebsd Building on FreeBSD
\note This page assumes you are the root user. If you are not, start the package install commands with sudo, along with make install. You will need sudo installed if you are not the root user.
1. Toolchain
Since the project uses CMake, you'll need to install it! If you don't have it, you can do the following:
pkg install cmake
2. Install Voice Dependencies (Optional)
If you wish to use voice support, you'll need to install opus and libsodium:
First, you need to install opus.
cd /usr/ports/audio/opus
make && make install
Then, you need to install libsodium.
cd /usr/ports/security/libsodium
make && make install
3. Build Source Code
cmake -B ./build
cmake --build ./build -j8
Replace the number after -j with a number suitable for your setup, usually the same as the number of cores on your machine. cmake will fetch any dependencies that are required for you and ensure they are compiled alongside the library.
4. Install Globally
cd build
make install
5. Installation to a Different Directory (Optional)
If you want to install the library, its dependencies and header files to a different directory, specify this directory when running cmake:
cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/path/to/install
Then once the build is complete, run sudo make install to install to the location you specified.
6. Using the Library
Once installed, you can make use of the library in standalone programs simply by including it and linking to it:
clang++ -std=c++17 -L/usr/local/lib -I/usr/local/include -ldpp bot.cpp -o dppbot
The important flags in this command-line are:
-std=c++17- Required to compile the headers-L/usr/local/lib- Required to tell the linker where libdpp is located.-I/usr/local/include- Required to tell the linker where dpp headers are located.-ldpp- Link tolibdpp.so.bot.cpp- Your source code.-o dppbot- The name of the executable to make.
