  • How to add runtime dependencies to flake so they can be found (gtkmm4, shared-mime-info)?
    3 projects | /r/NixOS | 11 May 2023
    For me it just fails on dpp wrap file not containing a valid URL. And if I change it to https://github.com/brainboxdotcc/DPP, it fails on the repo not containing a meson.build file. And if I comment out the dependency it fails due to non-existent include/ directory. And if I comment that out, it succeeds just fine.
  • REST APIs using C++. (Is this even done much?)
    13 projects | /r/cpp | 29 Mar 2023
    Sure, the D++ Discord bot library is a good example of an implementation of REST in C++. I wouldn't say it's particularly modern as it doesn't make a lot of use of modern C++ features such as constexpr, string_view and so on, but it's not too bad.
  • Finally my project is on vcpkg!
    2 projects | /r/cpp | 2 Aug 2022
    Looking quickly you'll want to use https://github.com/brainboxdotcc/DPP/blob/master/library-vcpkg/CMakeLists.txt
  • C++ Show and Tell - August 2022
    25 projects | /r/cpp | 1 Aug 2022
    I've been working for many months (actually over a year now) on creating and maintaining the D++ Discord API Library (aka DPP) making it lightweight and scalable for my needs.
  • Update Regarding a C++ Discord Bot Library
    3 projects | /r/cpp | 20 Mar 2022
    Out of curiousity; what does this library offer that, say, a mature library like DPP (https://github.com/brainboxdotcc/DPP) doesn't offer?
