Set environment variable WEBGAME_BIN_FOLDER as an absolute path to the application's bin folder WITHOUT TRAILING SLASH

Unix

For shell session:

export WEBGAME_BIN_FOLDER="/home/user/web-game/bin"

Permanent:

echo 'export WEBGAME_BIN_FOLDER="/home/user/web-game/bin"' >> ~/.profile

Windows

For shell session:

set WEBGAME_BIN_FOLDER=D:/web-game/bin

Permanent:

Control Panel -> User accounts -> Environment Variables -> Create

All config files located at ./bin folder, and have extension .ini. First time you clonned repository, you will see files like *.ini.dist in ./bin folder. Copy them with new names, without .dist suffix (for example, copy ./bin/runner.ini.dist to ./bin/runner.ini). Now you can setup your own configuration in ./bin/*.ini files (for example, database username). It is important to setup rootpath property in configuration - it is full path to your project directory.

You have to install PostgreSQL 9.4 Key files for project are: libpq-fe.h and libpq.lib (libpq.a)

You should create your own local PostgreSQL database server Then you can use sql/database.sql file for creating and filling your database

Required C++ libraries (they will be installed automatically):

• googletest framework: libgtest, libgtest_main (for testing only)
• poco libraries: libPocoNet, libPocoUtil, libPocoJSON, libPocoXML, libPocoFoundation

You need Git installed globally, g++ compiler, PostgreSQL and cmake (v3+).

$ git clone https://github.com/kaduev13/web-game
$ cd web-game
$ git submodule update --init
$ cmake .
$ make runner
$ make tester

If you will get problems with libpq-fe.h, than make sure, that libpq-fe.h exists (check /usr/include, /usr/local/include, /usr/include/postgresql, /usr/local/include/postgresql). Also, you compiler should know about include path for libpq-fe.h. Look through environment variables like CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH and C_INCLUDE_PATH.

If you install for Visual Studio you should:

• install 32bit version of PostgreSQL
• add libpq.lib to Linker->Input->Additional dependencies
• add \include and \lib to VC++ Directories->Include and ->Library, correspondingly

$ ./bin/runner

$ ./bin/tester
