C++ library for communicating with Ethereum

apt install cmake build-essential libboost-all-dev libssl-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libsodium-dev

Clone the repository as usual, including submodules (either by passing --recurse-submodules to git clone, or else running git submodule update --init --recursive the top-level project directory).

To compile the library run the following commands from the project source directory:

mkdir -p build
cd build
cmake ..
make -j8  # Tweak as needed for the desired build parallelism

Various options can be added to the cmake .. line; some common options are:

• -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release to make a release build

Unit tests use Catch2 as a formal unit-test framework. Unit tests are built by default as part of the standard CMake build logic (unless being built as a subdirectory of another CMake project) and can be invoked through the make test or running the test binaries build in build/tests.
