TCP/IP demo application

Test application including a TCP client and server. Implemented for various programming languages, operating systems and IDEs. Applications can generally be configured to run server or client only.

C++

The demo uses the spdlog dependency. Run the following command first

git submodule init
git submodule update

The demo is located inside the tcpip-cpp folder and can be configured by editing the demo_config.h file in the build directory after generating the build system with CMake.

Build instructions

Project template for building C++ and C projects with CMake and various different compilers and IDEs. Install CMake first.

All builds displayed here are for Debug configurations. To build for release, replace Debug with Release in the folder names and and add -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release to the CMake build command.

Windows - GCC

Using MinGW Makefiles

Install MSYS2 first. All command line steps here were done in MinGW64. Set up MinGW64:

pacman -Syuuu
pacman -S git mingw-w64-x86_64-gdb mingw-w64-x86_64-make mingw-w64-x86_64-cmake mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc

Then build the application with

cd tcpip-cpp
mkdir build-Debug-MinGW64 && cd build-Debug-MinGW64
cmake -G "MinGW Makefiles" .. 
cmake --build . -j

Using Visual Studio Code

Make sure you can build the application with MinGW64 like specified above. After that there are good instructions on how to set up Visual Studio Code here. A workspace file is provided as well to get started quickly.

Using Eclipse

Copy the .project and .cproject file found in misc/eclipse into the project root and open the folder in Eclipse with Open Project from Filesystem. Build configurations and launch files for MinGW were provided. You have to generate the build system with CMake via command line first before you can Build, Run and Debug with Eclipse.

Windows - MSVC

Using Visual Studio

Install Visual Studio. You can generate Visual Studio project files with the following command (here, for Visual Studio 2019)

cd tcpip-cpp
mkdir build-Debug-VS2019 && cd build-Debug-VS2019
cmake .. -G "Visual Studio 16 2019"

After that, a .sln project file is generated which you can open with Visual Studio 2019.

Using Visual Studio Code

Instructions can be found here. Not tested yet.

Windows - LLVM

Coming soon.

Linux - GCC

Using GCC and Unix Makefiles

Instructions for Ubuntu, adapt accordingly Install required packages and tools first

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essential gdb

Build the project like this:

cd tcpip-cpp
mkdir build-Debug-Unix && cd build-Debug-Unix
cmake .. 
cmake --build . -j

Using Eclipse

Copy the .project and .cproject file found in misc/eclipse into the project root and open the folder in Eclipse with Open Project from Filesystem. Build configurations and launch files for Unix systems were provided. You have to generate the build system with CMake via command line first before you can Build, Run and Debug with Eclipse.

Using Visual Studio Code

Make sure you can build the application like specified above. After that there are good instructions on how to set up Visual Studio Code here

Linux - LLVM

Coming soon.

C

The demo is located inside the tcpip-c folder.It can be configured like the C++ demo by editing the demo_config.h file in the build folder after build system generation with CMake.

Windows - GCC

Using MinGW Makefiles

Perform the same preparation steps as specified in the C++ chapter for MinGW Makefiles, then build the application with

cd tcpip-c
mkdir build-Debug-MinGW64 && cd build-Debug-MinGW64
cmake  -G "MinGW Makefiles" ..
cmake --build . -j

Linux - GCC

Using Makefiles

Perform the preparation steps as specified above for Unix Makefiles, then build the application with

cd tcpip-c
mkdir build-Debug-Unix && cd build-Debug-Unix
cmake ..
cmake --build . -j

Java

If Gradle is installed, you can run the demo with the command

./gradlew run

If you are using Eclipse, it is recommended to install the JDT and the Eclipse Buildship Gradle Integration.

Python

The demo can be configured via config.py file.

You can run the demo by executing the main.py file. Replaced python3 with py on Windows.

python3 main.py

Go

Rust
