GNU/Weeb Telegram Bot (2) ========================= Hi, As promised previously, this is the initial git tree for the new GNU/Weeb Telegram bot project. I encourage everyone to contribute to this project. I am looking forward to your contribution. I call it GNUWeebBot2. It's the second attempt to create a Telegram bot project for the GNU/Weeb community; the former GNUWeebBot doesn't perform really well. This one will be the better version of it. Currently, this project only runs on Linux. ## LICENSE In the spirit of the open-source community, this project is fully open-source. This project is licensed under GPLv2 (which is my default license choice). ## Directory Structures 1. modules/ - this is where bot modules are stored, something like bot commands, welcome messages, etc. (relevant to the bot response and pluggable bot behavior). 2. core/ - contains the core bot code. It contains the entry point, event loop, ring, etc. This part is the most complex part of the project. Be careful when touching this code. Take care of your mental health; it can make you crazy. 3. include/ - contains header files that need to get included across multiple subsystems. 4. lib/ - contains library code, like telegram API, string helpers, curl, etc. 5. tests/ - contains unit tests code. Currently, it's not much comfortable to make a new test. You can skip this part at the moment. ## The MAINTAINERS file The template comes from the Linux kernel MAINTAINERS file. If someone adds a new module, please maintain it. Put your name and email into this file. ## Build Tools - gcc or clang (just one of them) - g++ or clang++ (just one of them) - make - sh (for ./configure) For Ubuntu: sudo apt install clang make gcc g++ -y Please adapt the build tools installation if you use other Linux distros. ## Dependencies For Ubuntu: sudo apt install -y libcurl4-gnutls-dev libjson-c-dev Please adapt the dependencies installation if you use other Linux distros. ## How to build this Building with clang: ./configure --cc=clang --cxx=clang++; make -j8; Building with GCC: ./configure --cc=gcc --cxx=g++; make -j8; (whatever your compilers choice). ## How to run this export GNUWEEB_TG_BOT_TOKEN="your telegram bot token here"; ./gwbot; -- Ammar Faizi
