Linking

The FC++ API installation for Windows requires files from both OpenSSL and Boost.

The necessary files are installed as part of the FC++ API. The default installation directories are "C:\Program Files\FCpp\bin" and "C:\Program Files\FCpp\lib". Projects that use FC++ will need to link against these library files:

filename	description
"C:\Program Files\FCpp\lib\fcpp.lib"	FileCatalyst C++ library (upload, download, UDP, TCP, etc.)
"C:\Program Files\FCpp\lib\boost_regex-vc120-mt-1_58.lib"	support for regular expressions
"C:\Program Files\FCpp\lib\boost_system-vc120-mt-1_58.lib"	support for error status (used by ASIO and fc::Exception)
"C:\Program Files\FCpp\lib\libeay32.lib"	OpenSSL
"C:\Program Files\FCpp\lib\ssleay32.lib"	OpenSSL
"C:\Program Files\FCpp\bin\boost_regex-vc120-mt-1_58.dll"	regular expressions
"C:\Program Files\FCpp\bin\boost_system-vc120-mt-1_58.dll"	error status
"C:\Program Files\FCpp\bin\libeay32.dll"	OpenSSL
"C:\Program Files\FCpp\bin\ssleay32.dll"	OpenSSL

If using a build system such as CMake, then the usual calls to FIND_PACKAGE will help find the right libraries. For example:

SET ( Boost_USE_MULTITHREADED       ON  )
SET ( Boost_USE_STATIC_LIBS         ON  )
SET ( Boost_USE_STATIC_RUNTIME      OFF )
SET ( Boost_USE_DEBUG_RUNTIME       OFF )
FIND_PACKAGE ( Boost    REQUIRED COMPONENTS regex system )
FIND_PACKAGE ( OpenSSL  REQUIRED )
INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES ( AFTER ${Boost_INCLUDE_DIR} ${OPENSSL_INCLUDE_DIR} )

If creating Visual Studio C++ project manually, make the following modifications to "Project Properties":

• Edit the "Project Properties"
• Click on "Configuration Properties -> VC++ Directories -> Include Directories"
  • Add the path to where the FC++ include files were installed, e.g., "C:\Program Files\FCpp\include"
  • Add the path to Boost, e.g., "C:\local\boost_1_58_0"
• Click on "Configuration Properties -> VC++ Directories -> Library Directories"
  • Add the path to where the FC++ libraries were installed, e.g., "C:\Program Files\FCpp\lib"
• Click on "Configuration Properties -> Linker -> Input"
  • Add the OpenSSL library libeay32.lib
  • Add the OpenSSL library ssleay32.lib
  • Add the Boost library boost_regex-vc120-mt-1_58.lib
  • Add the Boost library boost_system-vc120-mt-1_58.lib
