How to add libsodium to cmake

[briandowns]

I'm really bad with cmake. Was curious if you (@Jason2605) could tell me how I can add libsodium to cmake. It's critical for some things I'm working on. ...pr inbound soon.

[Jason2605]

Good question, I'm currently struggling myself a little to get it included ☹️. Will keep having a play about and see if i can get it sorted

[Jason2605]

That branch was purely just trying to get libsodium working with CMake and to push it up if you wanted to see where I got with it. Nothing planned with the actual library from my end! It's such a pain and it probably helps I'm not hugely clued up on CMake to be honest. Will keep going to see if I can get it properly linked

Feel free to try any of those CMake files too

[briandowns]

Oh gotcha. Thank you so much! I appreciate that. :)

I have a fork of the language from years ago where I removed cmake in favor of standard make. If that makes things any easier, I'm happy to bring in those changes. I don't have any strong opinions either way.

[Jason2605]

No worries!

We will want to keep CMake as it allows us to be a lot more cross-platform since we can generate build files for specific platforms. Just need to figure out the magic that it is 🤯

[briandowns]

It's some serious witchcraft.

Ugh, libarchive is being a nightmare too.

Now 3... Biggest pains ever.

• ncurses
• libarchive
• libsodium

[Jason2605]

Hah yeah I’ll have another try at getting those to work, no promises tho cmake is magic 😂

[briandowns]

Got ncurses to compile in. Should have a module on the way.
