dcue

DCue is a tool for generating CUE sheets from Discogs data.

The original project was developed by Fluxtion on Sourceforge. It originally used its own implementation of the HTTP protocol based on raw sockets in order to remain dependency-free. However, the Discogs' API HTTP endpoint has been switched off and the API is now accessible only via HTTPS. Since providing a custom HTTPS implementation would require using a SSL library anyway, I went ahead and ported the code to use libcurl. The custom HTTP implementation was removed.

Please report bugs and ideas via the GitHub issue tracker. Thanks!

Compiling

Linux

Make sure you have the libcurl headers. Most distributions ship these as a separate package, for example libcurl-dev on Debian and libcurl-devel on Red Hat.

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make

Windows

Windows isn't my main development platform, so there might be a few things that will probably seem a bit off to more seasoned developers. dcue is compiled with Visual Studio 2015 on Windows 7, and that's where the official release builds come from. The libcurl DLL is shipped alongside the main application.

1. Choose a directory where the libcurl build files will be stored. This directory will be referred to as CURL_PATH from now on.
2. Download the curl source distribution and extract the include directory to CURL_PATH, thus placing the headers into CURL_PATH/include/curl.
3. Download the Windows binary distribution and extract the contents of the I386 directory into CURL_PATH/lib.
4. Run CMake and set CURL_PATH to your directory via the appropriate -D option if you're using the commandline, or in the GUI after configuring.
5. Launch the VS2015 x86 Native Tools Command Prompt, go into the CMake build directory and run msbuild dcue.sln.
