This is an example of building TDLib with C++/CLI
support and an example of TDLib usage from C#.
- Download and install Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 or later.
- Download and install CMake; choose "Add CMake to the system PATH" option while installing.
- Install vcpkg or update it to the latest version using
vcpkg update
and following received instructions. - Install
gperf
,zlib
, andopenssl
usingvcpkg
:
cd <path to vcpkg>
.\vcpkg.exe install gperf:x64-windows gperf:x86-windows openssl:x64-windows openssl:x86-windows zlib:x64-windows zlib:x86-windows
- (Optional. For XML documentation generation.) Download PHP. Add the path to php.exe to the PATH environment variable.
- Build
TDLib
with CMake enabling.NET
support and specifying correct path tovcpkg
toolchain file:
cd <path to TDLib sources>/example/csharp
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -A Win32 -DTD_ENABLE_DOTNET=ON -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=<path to vcpkg>/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake ../../..
cmake --build . --config Release
cmake --build . --config Debug
cd ..
mkdir build64
cd build64
cmake -A x64 -DTD_ENABLE_DOTNET=ON -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=<path to vcpkg>/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake ../../..
cmake --build . --config Release
cmake --build . --config Debug
After TDLib
is built you can open and run TdExample project.
It contains a simple console C# application with implementation of authorization and message sending.
Just open it with Visual Studio 2015 or later and run.
Also, see TdExample.csproj for example of including TDLib in C# project with all native shared library dependencies.
