The following dependencies must be set up before running this project.
1. Set up Boost
- 1. Download and extract the boost 1.69.0 source code zip from https://www.boost.org/users/download/ to ./external/boost-sdk/.
+ 1. Download and extract the boost 1.72.0 source code zip from https://www.boost.org/users/download/ to ./external/boost-sdk/.
2. `cd ./external/boost-sdk/`
- 3. `./bootstraph.sh`
+ 3. `./bootstrap.sh`
4. `./b2`
5. Copy .a files from ./external/boost-sdk/bin.v2/libs/\*/link-static/\* to ./external-libs/boost according to CMakeLists.txt.
2. Set up OpenSSL
1. Download and extract the latest OpenSSL source code zip from https://github.com/openssl/openssl to ./external/openssl-sdk/.
2. Build for your system.
Mac: installed through boost at /usr/local/opt/openssl/lib
- 3. Copy libcrypto.a and libssl.a ./external-libs/openssl.
-3. Set up Monero Core
- 1. Initialize submodules: `git submodule update --init --recursive`
- 2. cd ./submodules/monero-core
- 3. Modify CMakeLists.txt: `option(BUILD_GUI_DEPS "Build GUI dependencies." ON)`.
- 4. Build twice to create libwallet_merged.a in addition to other .a libraries: `make release-static -j8`.
- 5. Copy .a files from ./submodules/monero-core/build/release/* to ./external-libs/monero-core according to CMakeLists.txt.

+6. Build this project as a dynamic library at `./build/libmonero-cpp.dylib`: `./bin/build-libmonero-cpp.sh`.
-After the dependencies are set up, this project may be compiled as part of another application, as a dynamic library, or as a shared library. For example, the associated [Java library](https://github.com/monero-ecosystem/monero-java-rpc) depends on a dynamic library built from this project to support a wallet using Java JNI.

These build steps aspire to be automated further and [any help is greatly appreciated](https://github.com/woodser/monero-cpp-library/issues/1).
