Building

A simple script is provided that run the appropriate CMake command.

./build.sh

Running

Simply run from the cmake build folder (cmake-build-debug by default)

./bridge-gui

bridge-gui will launch the bridge executable that it will try to locate in

• The working directory.
• The application directory.
• cmd/Desktop-Bridge/, ../cmd/Desktop-Bridge/, ../../cmd/Desktop-Bridge (up to five parent folders above the current folder are inspected).

you can specify the location of the bridge executable using the -b or --bridge-exe-path command-line parameter:

./bridge-gui -b "~/bin/bridge"

you can also ask bridge-gui to connect to an already running instance of bridge using the -a or --attach command line parameter.

./bridge-gui -a
