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 Mac users** - - For a Mac system, Unix tools are not available by default. You will first need - to install Xcode from the Mac AppStore and then run the following command from - a terminal: - - $ sudo xcode-select --install - - To install Unix tools, you can install "port" following the instructions at - https://www.macports.org . This will reside in /opt/local/bin/port for most - Mac installations. - - $ sudo /opt/local/bin/port install autoconf automake libtool - - Then follow the Unix instructions above. - -**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. - -**Note for AIX users** - - Compile using the IBM xlC C++ compiler as follows: - - ./configure CXX=xlC - - Also, you will need to use GNU `make` (`gmake`) instead of AIX `make`. - -C++ Installation - Windows --------------------------- - -If you only need the protoc binary, you can download it from the release -page: - - https://github.com/google/protobuf/releases - -In the downloads section, download the zip file protoc-$VERSION-win32.zip. -It contains the protoc binary as well as public proto files of protobuf -library. - -To build from source using Microsoft Visual C++, see [cmake/README.md](../cmake/README.md). - -To build from source 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 - -Usage ------ - -The complete documentation for Protocol Buffers is available via the -web at: - - https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/ |
