Daily Core C++ SDK

daily-core-sdk is a C++ SDK to build native client applications for the Daily platform.

It supports Linux (x86_64 and aarch64), macOS (x86_64 and aarch64) and Windows (x86_64).

🧪 Code examples

Take a look at the examples directory.

🧰 Requirements

On all platforms:

• cmake 3.16 or older.

On Windows you also need vcpkg:

• vcpkg

🚀 First steps

Before building the example we need to declare a few environment variables:

DAILY_CORE_PATH=/path/to/daily-core

Now, make a copy of the cmake folder into your project.

On Windows also copy CMakePresets.json to your project.

🛠️ Preparing your CMakeList.txt

We need to make sure the DAILY_CORE_PATH environment variable is defined:

#
# DAILY_CORE_PATH environment variable should be defined.
#
if (NOT DEFINED ENV{DAILY_CORE_PATH})
  message(FATAL_ERROR "You must define DAILY_CORE_PATH environment variable.")
endif()

set(DAILY_CORE_PATH "$ENV{DAILY_CORE_PATH}")

And then you can add find_package() to find the library:

find_package(DailyCore)

This will expose DAILY_CORE_INCLUDE_DIRS and DAILY_CORE_LIBRARIES which you can then use in your target application:

target_include_directories(daily_example
  PRIVATE
  ${DAILY_CORE_INCLUDE_DIRS}
)

target_link_libraries(daily_example
  PRIVATE
  ${DAILY_CORE_LIBRARIES}
)

🐧🍏 Linux and macOS

cmake . -G Ninja -Bbuild -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
ninja -C build

🪟 Windows

Initialize the command-line development environment.

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Professional\VC\Auxiliary\Build\vcvarsall.bat" amd64

And then configure and build:

cmake . -Bbuild --preset vcpkg
cmake --build build --config Release

🔀🐧Cross-compiling (Linux aarch64)

It is possible to build the example for the aarch64 architecture in Linux with:

cmake . -Bbuild -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=aarch64-linux-toolchain.cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
ninja -C build
