Lightweight and minimalist Server List Ping (SLP) protocol API library for Minecraft written in C++
This project supports both Windows and most *nix OS's, and supports being linked to C++ and C programs. These instructions assume you are using the GNU C++ compiler / MINGW C++ compiler.
Compiling is done through the Makefile located in the /src folder. 3 options are available for compiling: a static library, a shared object, and a Dynamic Link Library (Windows only)
The commands to compile are as follows: \
make static - Compile static library
make shared - Compile shared library
make dll - Compile DLL file for windows
make all - Compile all versions for the current operating system
make clean - Clean all compiled data \
All compiled data will be stored in their respective subfolders located in build/ \
To compile:
make static
To statically link into a project:
g++ project.cpp libMinecraftPing.a -lwsock32 -liphlpapi
The output executable will be a.exe and will contain both the executable binary of the API as well as the linked socket libraries.
Compile the Dynamic Link Library:
make dll
Link the libMinecraftPing.a to the project, and drop the generated libMinecraftPing.dll into the same folder as the project exe.
This method does not require linking to any other libraries after a one time link with the SLP API:
g++ project.cpp libMinecraftPing.a
If you would rather use a shared object when compiling, you can do:
make shared
Then when compiling your project:
g++ project.cpp libMinecraftPing.so
Ship your executable with libMinecraftPing.so in the root directory with the executable.
Compile the static library:
make static
Compile the static library into the project executable:
g++ project.cpp libMinecraftPing.a
The output executable will be a.out. No other external libraries will need to be linked on the GNU+Linux System for compiling.
Compile the library:
make shared
Dynamically link on compilation:
g++ project.cpp libMinecraftPing.so
Place libMinecraftPing.so in the same folder as the project source when compiling, and then keep the shared library in the executable's root folder.
