-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.
-
-Usage
-=====
-
-The complete documentation for Protocol Buffers is available via the
-web at:
-
- http://code.google.com/apis/protocolbuffers/
