Repository Deprecated

This repository is now deprecated. Ethyl now exists here. This is in line with announcements from Session and the OPTF, indicating that the OPTF has handed over the stewardship of the Session Project and token libraries to the Session Technology Foundation, a Swiss-based foundation dedicated to advancing digital rights and innovation.

Ethyl

C++ library for communicating with Ethereum.

Building

Clone the repository git clone --recursive or if already cloned, git submodule update --init --recursive at the root to ensure all source code is retrieved.

Then run the following commands from the root of this repository:

Linux

# Install dependencies
apt install cmake build-essential libssl-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev

# Build
cmake -B build -S .
cmake --build build --parallel --verbose

Windows via MSYS2 (MinGW, UCRT64, e.t.c)

# Update pacman and install dependencies
pacman -Syuu # Terminal may prompt to restart before proceeding
pacman -S git base-devel libargp-devel cmake gcc libcurl-devel gmp-devel autoconf automake libtool

# Build
cmake -B build -S .
cmake --build build --parallel --verbose

Various options can be added to the cmake .. line; some common options are:

• -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release to make a release build

Testing

Unit tests use Catch2 as a formal unit-test framework. Unit tests are built by default as part of the standard CMake build logic (unless being built as a subdirectory of another CMake project) and can be invoked through the make test or running the test binaries build in build/tests.
