A failed effort to write decent looking C++ code.
- Philip Trauner

Simple networked directory synchronization (please use something like rsync instead).

• Doesn't differentiate between case sensitive and case insensitive file-systems
• No Windows support (lul)
• Probably leaks memory like crazy
• No input validation
• If you poke it with a stick it will probably crash

1. Clone repository

git clone https://github.com/PhilipTrauner/dir_sync
cd dir_sync

2. Install platform specific dependencies

   • Debian

   sudo apt-get install autoconf automake libtool curl make g++ unzip libssl-dev
   wget https://github.com/google/protobuf/releases/download/v3.5.1/protobuf-cpp-3.5.1.tar.gz
   tar xf protobuf-cpp-3.5.1.tar.gz
   cd protobuf-3.5.1
   ./configure
   make
   make check
   sudo make install
   sudo ldconfig
   cd ..

   • macOS

   brew install protobuf openssl cmake

3. Install platform independent dependencies

mkdir cpp_clones
cd cpp_clones
git clone https://github.com/nlohmann/json.git --depth=1
git clone https://github.com/gabime/spdlog.git --depth=1
git clone https://github.com/chriskohlhoff/asio.git --depth=1
git clone https://github.com/muellan/clipp.git --depth=1
git clone https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt.git --depth=1
cd fmt
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. && make
cd ../..
export JSON_INCLUDE_PATH=$(realpath json)/single_include/nlohmann
export FMT_PATH=$(realpath fmt)
export SPDLOG_INCLUDE_PATH=$(realpath spdlog)/include
export CLIPP_INCLUDE_PATH=$(realpath clipp)/include
export ASIO_INCLUDE_PATH=$(realpath asio)/asio/include

4. Compiling

cd ..
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. && make
