Requirements

Build

Unix-Like (Ubuntu, MacOS)

To fetch and build the project use the following commands:

cd <path to working directory>
git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/SharifAIChallenge/AIC21-Client-Cpp
cd AIC21-Client-Cpp
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make

After making any changes to any file just run make again. If a new source file was added (or deleted) to the project run cmake .. and then make again. Use executable output with --first-team or --second-team args for server.

Windows

Below are the instructions to build the project in windows using Cygwin.

1. Install the needed building tools

1.1) Install the latest version of CMake from https://cmake.org/download/

1.2.1) Download the latest Cygwin installer from https://cygwin.com/install.html

1.2.2) Run the installer and select the following packages

• gcc-g++
• make
• gdb

To select a package, type its name in the Search field and then click it in the list until a tick mark appears in the Bin? column:

1.3) Add the Cygwin bin directory in the Path enviroment variable. If you don't know how, follow the below steps:

1.3.1) Find the Cygwin bin directory. By default it will be C:\cygwin64\bin.

1.3.2) In the windows start bar search for enviroment variable and select Edit the system environment variables.

1.3.3) In the appeared window click Environment Variables....

1.3.4) In the next appeared window edit Path in the System variables and add C:\cygwin64\bin to it. Then click Move Up multiple times until it appears at the top of the list. Then press OK in the two windows. Now the Path environment variable is set.

2. Download or clone the aic20_client_cpp project somewhere form https://github.com/SharifAIChallenge/AIC20-Client-Cpp

3. Using CMake (CMake GUI)

3.1) Open CMake (CMake GUI)

3.2) In the opened window specify the project root folder (For example mine is C:/sharif/AIC20/aic20_client_cpp):

3.3) Make a new folder, preferably in the project root directory and name it build. In this folder the building scripts will be generated.

3.4) Back to the CMake window, specify the build folder (For me it's C:/sharif/AIC20/aic20_client_cpp/build):

3.5) Click configure. Then a window will appear. Specify the generator to Unix Makefiles and select the Specify native compilers option then press finish.

3.6) Specify the gcc and g++ compilers form Cygwin (It should be located in C:/) as below (You may leave Fortran empty), then click Finish:

3.7) Click Generate. Now the building scripts are generated.

4. Using Cygwin Bash

4.1) In the Cygwin bin directory (Default: C:\cygwin64\bin) open bash.exe.

4.2) Navigate to the build directory where the build scripts are (Using cd):

4.3) Run make. If everthing goes fine you should see the following outputs:

4.4) Now the program is built. Run ./client/client.exe to execute the new client:

After each changes made to any source file you have to run make again.

If a new source file was added to the project, redo the steps starting from CMake (step 3).

CLion on Windows

To build this project in CLion, Cygwin has to be installed and defined in CLion. Read the Cygwin secton of the below link to find out how:
