MShare

MShare aims to be a secure peer-to-peer messenger for macOS and Linux. It is currently a WORK IN PROGRESS.

Build Instructions

You need the following to build and run MShare:

• C++ compiler with C++20 support (tested using clang++)
• CMake
• GNU Make/Ninja/any build system supported by CMake
• Crypto++

Make sure you have a suitable C++ compiler and CMake installed before you continue.

Clone the source code and change to the source directory:

$ git clone git@github.com:jithin-renji/MShare.git
$ cd MShare/

Download the latest version of Crypto++ and extract it to a folder called cryptopp.

$ unzip cryptoppVERSION.zip -d cryptopp
$ cd cryptopp/

Run make to build Crypto++. Optionally, add option -jn to speed up execution. For example, -j8 would use 8 threads/cores.

$ make      # -j8
$ cd ..

Run cmake to generate build files for your platform.

$ cmake .

To build and run:

$ make      # -j8
$ ./mshared

See ./mshared --help for more information.
