Installing

Dependencies

• Melanolib (Included as a sub-module)
• Boost ASIO

If you want to use the SSL capabilties, you need to be able to link OpenSSL to the final executable (This is not needed to compile HttPony).

Building

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

Examples

See example/ for example files, src/examples.dox for an explanation of those examples.

You can also build the Doxygen documentation with

make doc

Which, of course, requires Doxygen to be installed.
