PostBaby

C++ native app to test HTTP endpoints

Dependencies

  • CMake
  • OpenGL (with supporting drivers)
  • CMake supported C++ Compiler
  • Python 3 (to generate GL bindings)

Debian/Ubuntu

You also need the dev libraries for OpenSSL installed.

sudo apt-get install libx11-dev xorg-dev libglu1-mesa-dev libssl-dev

Windows

  • Windows systems need the Visual Studio environment setup with the necessary files for C++ development. If required, you need to run
vcvarsall.bat x64

Windows has been configured to use WINSSL

Get Started

git clone https://github.com/theProgrammerDavid/PostBaby.git

Building

  • Create a build folder and cd into that, and run cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release .. for a Release build with the build system of choice.
  • The DCURL_CA_BUNDLE flag is passed as a temp fix on some Linux systems
  • Configuring CMake might take a while initially as it is downloading dependencies
  • Once configured, build it using the selected build system. On *nix systems you can use make -j$(nproc)
  • The built binary will be in ${PostBaby_ROOT}/build/src/PostBaby

Installing

  • Quick Install MacOS

git clone https://github.com/theProgrammerDavid/PostBaby.git && \
cd PostBaby && \
mkdir build && \
cd build && \
export PATH="/usr/local/opt/openssl/bin:$PATH" && \
CXX=clang++ CC=clang cmake -DOPENSSL_ROOT_DIR=/usr/local/opt/openssl -DOPENSSL_LIBRARIES=/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
make -j$(nproc)

  • Quick Install Linux

git clone https://github.com/theProgrammerDavid/PostBaby.git && \
cd PostBaby && \
mkdir build && \
cd build && \
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCURL_CA_BUNDLE="./cacert.pem" .. && \
make -j$(nproc) && \
sudo make install

sudo make install will add it to your system and application launcher You can also use cpack -C Release to build the package for your OS (.deb for Debian derivatives)

  • Quick Install Windows

Initialize your cmd with vcvarsall.bat x64

git clone https://github.com/theProgrammerDavid/PostBaby.git && \
cd PostBaby && \
mkdir build && \
cd build && \
cmake .. && \
MSBuild.exe /m /p:Configuration=Release PostBaby.sln
cpack -C Release
