Workshop: How to build a Telegram Bot

In these examples we are demonstrating how to build a Telegram bot using the library developed by @reo7sp: tgbot-cpp

📙 Slides corresponding to the workshop on March 21th by Madrid C/C++ User Group

Prerrequisites

We are using Conan to handle the dependencies in these examples, it requires a minimum configuration to run:

$> pip install conan
$> conan profile show default

Some dependencies are not in the official repositories, so we will need to add unofficial ones (or create packages using the recipes):

$> conan remote add bincrafters https://api.bintray.com/conan/bincrafters/public-conan
$> conan remote add jgsogo https://api.bintray.com/conan/jgsogo/conan-packages

Running the examples

Just enter the directory containing the example and build as usual:

$> cd <path/to/example>
$> mkdir build && cd build
$> conan install .. --build=missing
$> cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
$> cmake --build .

You will also need to create the bot itself in Telegram and get a token.
