Crashpad for non-Googlers

Are you writing cool apps? Want to crash report like the big G but don't want to bother setting up a build environment just for Crashpad?

Unidentified Developer got you covered!

This repo contains everything you need to build Crashpad in a CMake environment, making integration in your own project much easier.

We also provide pre-built native binaries on NuGet so you can get started even easier!

Getting started

Install the NuGet package.

λ nuget install UnidentifiedDeveloper.Crashpad.vc142

Add the include directories and libraries to your project - this will differ between development environments.

Next up, initialize Crashpad using any available example. Here's one. Remember to add error handling as well - refer to the Crashpad documentation.

#include <client/crash_report_database.h>
#include <client/settings.h>
#include <client/crashpad_client.h>

void InitializeCrashpad()
{
    crashpad::CrashpadClient client;

    client.StartHandler(
        base::FilePath("path/to/crashpad_handler.exe"),
        base::FilePath("Crashpad/db"),
        base::FilePath("Crashpad/db"),
        "https://error-handling-api",
        { },
        { "--no-rate-limit" },
        true,
        true);

    client.WaitForHandlerStart(INFINITE);
}

Building the project from source

Initialize Git submodules (crashpad, mini_chromium and zlib).

λ git submodule update --init

Generate the build.

λ cmake -A [Win32|x64] -S . -B build/[x86|x64]

Run the build.

λ cmake --build build/[x86|x64] --config [Debug|Release]

Create a NuGet package

Make sure you have built all four configurations (Debug-x86, Debug-x86_64, Release-x86, Release-x86_64).

λ nuget pack package.nuspec -Version <Version>
