:ocean: A work-in-progress, experimental (i.e. broken) C++17 BitTorrent library

Tide

Tide will eventually be a fully documented, feature-complete, fast, and easy to use BitTorrent library, written in modern C++17 to serve as the underlying engine for BitTorrent applications. For now, though usable, it is unstable. Features are added, bugs fixed, and API changes are made on a regular basis.

Development is happening on the master branch. Once a stable version is reached, such versions will reside in the stable branch.

NOTE

Although it doesn't currently work, you can run Tide by executing the following steps:

• install Asio (the standalone version) and Boost (though I'm aiming to remove this dependency),
• git clone --recursive https://github.com/mandreyel/tide
• cd to the build directory,
• execute

cmake build -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr ..
sudo make install -j

(which will build the library and install the necessary header files to /usr/include)

• then simply include tide by specifying #include <tide.hpp> in your source code.
• and compile it with: g++ -std=c++17 your_app.cpp -ltide -lpthread -lcrypto -lstdc++fs -lboost_system.
