DSS Protobuf Demo

This is a demonstration on how protobuf can be used at DSS. This includes setting up the CMake and code for sending and recving protobuf objects in C++

Setup

You will need to clone this repository:

$ git clone https://github.com/loganmacdougall/DSS_Protobuf_Demo.git

You will need to enter the Nix Shell from the MANTIS-DevEnv repo. This will allow you to compile the demo. The important nix packages allowing this demo to compile are gcc, cmake, protobuf, and abseil-cpp

You then go into the demo repository and type the following commands to setup the build folder:

$  mkdir build && cd build
$  cmake ..

Now you can generate the files in the build folder with the following command:

$ make

This will generate 2 executables in your build folder, sender, and receiver. You should run these in 2 seprate shell for this to work, making sure to run the receiver first or else it will not work.
