Can I build D++ for static linking? How to stop a dpp::cluster?

[MasFlam]

The makefiles cmake generates only seem to build a shared object. Is there a way to compile the library into an archive instead?

[braindigitalis]

Yes but currently only on the dev github branch. After switching to the dev github branch, the build flag -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF should give you what you want, let me know if you have any issues with it

All seems to be working, thank you for the help. I'm also wondering, is there a way for stopping and disconnecting a dpp::cluster?

[braindigitalis]

not really, as discord doesn't have a quit command as such, you just disconnect the websocket and discord times it out later.

so, you could call cluster::start with true as a parameter and run your own sleep/loop afterwards, when you want to end the cluster call it's destructor and it will close it's sockets. I haven't tested this ability much though as most discord bots are dedicated processes and not embedded in something else.

I sleep 10 seconds and then delete my cluster but the bot stays running. I don't really need this I guess, I can just run the bot from a shell script and sigint the process whenever i need to, so no big deal.

Thanks again for help and for this awesome library; I'm gonna rename the issue so that it will show up when searching for stopping a cluster too.
