Building EgilSCIM from source code

EgilSCIM currently depends on the following libraries:

• libcurl to send the SCIM request.
• boost (general purpose C++ libraries)
• libldap from OpenLDAP for fetching identity information using LDAP.

libldap is only used on Unix based platforms.

The build tool CMake is used to build the program.

The easiest way to get the required dependencies and make sure CMake knows where they are, is to use the dependency manager vcpkg.

Building with CMake and vcpkg on a Unix based system

Make sure the following is installed:

• C++ compiler and tool chain
• CMake
• vcpkg (you may need to set the VCPKG_ROOT environment variable so CMake finds it)
• libldap with header files (this dependency isn't managed by vcpkg)

Then you can execute the following commands to build the program:

cmake --preset=unix
cmake --build build

This should produce an EgilSCIMClient binary in the build directory.

Building with CMake and vcpkg on a Windows based system

Make sure the following is installed:

• Microsoft Visual Studio (other compilers are likely to work as well)
• CMake
• vcpkg (you may need to set the VCPKG_ROOT environment variable so CMake finds it)

If you wish to use a different C++ toolchain you will need to modify the presets in CMakePresets.json.

Then you can execute the following commands to build the program:

cmake --preset=windows
cmake --build build --config Release

This should produce an EgilSCIMClient.exe binary in the build\Release directory.
