-Protocol Buffers - Google's data interchange format |
-Copyright 2008 Google Inc. |
-http://code.google.com/apis/protocolbuffers/ |
- |
-C++ Installation - Unix |
-======================= |
- |
-To build and install the C++ Protocol Buffer runtime and the Protocol |
-Buffer compiler (protoc) execute the following: |
- |
- $ ./configure |
- $ make |
- $ make check |
- $ make install |
- |
-If "make check" fails, you can still install, but it is likely that |
-some features of this library will not work correctly on your system. |
-Proceed at your own risk. |
- |
-"make install" may require superuser privileges. |
- |
-For advanced usage information on configure and make, see INSTALL.txt. |
- |
-** Hint on install location ** |
- |
- By default, the package will be installed to /usr/local. However, |
- on many platforms, /usr/local/lib is not part of LD_LIBRARY_PATH. |
- You can add it, but it may be easier to just install to /usr |
- instead. To do this, invoke configure as follows: |
- |
- ./configure --prefix=/usr |
- |
- If you already built the package with a different prefix, make sure |
- to run "make clean" before building again. |
- |
-** Compiling dependent packages ** |
- |
- To compile a package that uses Protocol Buffers, you need to pass |
- various flags to your compiler and linker. As of version 2.2.0, |
- Protocol Buffers integrates with pkg-config to manage this. If you |
- have pkg-config installed, then you can invoke it to get a list of |
- flags like so: |
- |
- pkg-config --cflags protobuf # print compiler flags |
- pkg-config --libs protobuf # print linker flags |
- pkg-config --cflags --libs protobuf # print both |
- |
- For example: |
- |
- c++ my_program.cc my_proto.pb.cc `pkg-config --cflags --libs protobuf` |
- |
- Note that packages written prior to the 2.2.0 release of Protocol |
- Buffers may not yet integrate with pkg-config to get flags, and may |
- not pass the correct set of flags to correctly link against |
- libprotobuf. If the package in question uses autoconf, you can |
- often fix the problem by invoking its configure script like: |
- |
- configure CXXFLAGS="$(pkg-config --cflags protobuf)" \ |
- LIBS="$(pkg-config --libs protobuf)" |
- |
- This will force it to use the correct flags. |
- |
- If you are writing an autoconf-based package that uses Protocol |
- Buffers, you should probably use the PKG_CHECK_MODULES macro in your |
- configure script like: |
- |
- PKG_CHECK_MODULES([protobuf], [protobuf]) |
- |
- See the pkg-config man page for more info. |
- |
- If you only want protobuf-lite, substitute "protobuf-lite" in place |
- of "protobuf" in these examples. |
- |
-** Note for cross-compiling ** |
- |
- The makefiles normally invoke the protoc executable that they just |
- built in order to build tests. When cross-compiling, the protoc |
- executable may not be executable on the host machine. In this case, |
- you must build a copy of protoc for the host machine first, then use |
- the --with-protoc option to tell configure to use it instead. For |
- example: |
- |
- ./configure --with-protoc=protoc |
- |
- This will use the installed protoc (found in your $PATH) instead of |
- trying to execute the one built during the build process. You can |
- also use an executable that hasn't been installed. For example, if |
- you built the protobuf package for your host machine in ../host, |
- you might do: |
- |
- ./configure --with-protoc=../host/src/protoc |
- |
- Either way, you must make sure that the protoc executable you use |
- has the same version as the protobuf source code you are trying to |
- use it with. |
- |
-** Note for Solaris users ** |
- |
- Solaris 10 x86 has a bug that will make linking fail, complaining |
- about libstdc++.la being invalid. We have included a work-around |
- in this package. To use the work-around, run configure as follows: |
- |
- ./configure LDFLAGS=-L$PWD/src/solaris |
- |
- See src/solaris/libstdc++.la for more info on this bug. |
- |
-** Note for HP C++ Tru64 users ** |
- |
- To compile invoke configure as follows: |
- |
- ./configure CXXFLAGS="-O -std ansi -ieee -D__USE_STD_IOSTREAM" |
- |
- Also, you will need to use gmake instead of make. |
- |
-C++ Installation - Windows |
-========================== |
- |
-If you are using Microsoft Visual C++, see vsprojects/readme.txt. |
- |
-If you are using Cygwin or MinGW, follow the Unix installation |
-instructions, above. |
- |
-Binary Compatibility Warning |
-============================ |
- |
-Due to the nature of C++, it is unlikely that any two versions of the |
-Protocol Buffers C++ runtime libraries will have compatible ABIs. |
-That is, if you linked an executable against an older version of |
-libprotobuf, it is unlikely to work with a newer version without |
-re-compiling. This problem, when it occurs, will normally be detected |
-immediately on startup of your app. Still, you may want to consider |
-using static linkage. You can configure this package to install |
-static libraries only using: |
- |
- ./configure --disable-shared |
- |
-Java and Python Installation |
-============================ |
- |
-The Java and Python runtime libraries for Protocol Buffers are located |
-in the java and python directories. See the README file in each |
-directory for more information on how to compile and install them. |
-Note that both of them require you to first install the Protocol |
-Buffer compiler (protoc), which is part of the C++ package. |
- |
