C++ WebSocket Server Demo
=========================
This is a little demo project that implements a C++ server using the [WebSocket++](https://github.com/zaphoyd/websocketpp) WebSocket library. It was originally created for a [Club++ Workshop](https://github.com/club-plus-plus/websocket-server-workshop), and is provided here so that it might be used as the basis for future projects that require WebSocket server functionality.
Dependencies
------------
The following libraries are bundled in the source tree, under the `server/external` directory:
- [WebSocket++](https://github.com/zaphoyd/websocketpp)
- [Asio](http://think-async.com/)
- [JsonCpp](https://github.com/open-source-parsers/jsoncpp)
When compiling under MinGW, [Boost.Thread](http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/release/libs/thread/) is also required, due to a bug in MinGW that prevents WebSocket++ from using C++11 functionality alone (see [this StackOverflow post](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/33662788/undefined-reference-to-stderrcoperation-canceled-when-compiling-websocketp) for details.)
Building the server
-------------------
Building the server requires a recent version of the [CMake](https://cmake.org/) build system. To build the server, invoke the following commands in the `server` directory:
```
cmake .
cmake --build .
```
When compiling with Visual Studio under Windows, these command need to be run from the *"Visual Studio Native Tools Command Prompt"*, which includes the neccessary build tools in the `PATH`.
