gRPC official Windows installation instructions:
- Install Visual Studio 2015 or 2017 (Visual C++ compiler will be used).
- Install Git.
- Install CMake.
- Install Active State Perl (
choco install activeperl) - required by boringssl - Install Go (
choco install golang) - required by boringssl - Install yasm and add it to
PATH(choco install yasm) - required by boringssl - (Optional) Install Ninja (
choco install ninja)
On the Windows source code to compile and install gRPC still very troublesome need MSVC compiler, git, cmake, Perl, go, yasm, Ninja and other tools, some tools you can use to install choco (package management tool on Windows) to install.
Preparing the environment
https://git-scm.com/ download git on, the current version 2.23.0.
https://cmake.org/download/ download cmake on download cmake-3.15.3-win64-x64.zip, when unpacked mode position, where the tool cmake bin directory to the system environment variable Path.
Install Perl, go, yasm etc.
Use choco install activeperl very slow on my computer is very slow, but also directly in the official website to download the user need to register the landing, too much, the last direct download third-party websites, directly to install!
Download Source gRPC
Create a new folder named grpc_plugs, right-click the blank space choose Git Bash Here
git clone https://github.com/grpc/grpc.git
cd grpc enter grpc folder, a newer version of the current checkout
git checkout v1.23.0
View the current version
git branch -v
Download dependent
git submodule update --init
Performing operations that require network down, please be patient ...
After the download is complete, locate and open the file ./grpc/third_party/zlib/gzguts.h found
#ifdef _WIN32
#inlcude <stddef.h>
#endif
Changed
#ifdef _WIN32
#include <stddef.h>
#pragma warning(disable:4996)
#endif
To shield some warning, I feel nothing practical effect, but did so only.
VS2017 compile the source code gRPC
mkdir .build
cd .build
cmake –version
cmake .. -G "Visual Studio 15 2017 Win64" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
Configuring makefile, the process is relatively long, there was no error on nothing issue during what will be generated grpc.sln.
cmake --build .
VS2017 above compilation operation command, and directly open grpc.sln perform the same effect of compilation.
Wait patiently compiled ...
After completion of the compiler generated dependencies gRPC and third-party libraries lib static library file, as shown in FIG below:
HelloWorld
gRPC comes C ++ HelloWorld example located. \ grpc \ examples \ cpp \ helloworld
New air in VS2017 C ++ project gRPCTest
The helloworld.proto copied to the project directory
The resulting protoc.exe copied to the project directory
Run cmd execute the project directory protoc compiler generates a command to generate source code files helloworld.pb.h, helloworld.pb.cpp, helloworld.grpc.pb.h, helloworld.grpc.pb.cpp.
protoc -I="./protos" --grpc_out="./protos" --plugin=protoc-gen-grpc=“E:\LearningOpensourceLib\gRPC\grpc_plugs\grpc\.build\Debug\grpc_cpp_plugin.exe " "./protos\hw.proto"
protoc -I="./protos" --cpp_out="./protos" "./protos\hw.proto"
Copy grpc_cpp_plugin.exe, greeter_client.cc, greeter_server.cc to the project directory
The documents are to be added to the project, the final project is structured as follows:
Select Debug - x64 build configuration
Configure include directory and lib directory and lib Import: Add me here direct absolute path
We need to configure the preprocessor definitions _WIN32_WINNT = 0x0A00, otherwise it will be reported "Please compile grpc with _WIN32_WINNT of at least 0x600 (aka Windows Vista)" error.
The client code to add std :: cin.get () flash window avoid retire:
Server code:
When compiling the server, please shield the main function of client code
Compile client, please shield the service side of the main function of the code
Generate renamed exe file and put together zlibd.dll
Each running grpc-server.exe and grpc-client.exe
