This means that API may change in an +incompatible way in the future. It's unlikely that any big changes +will be made, but we can make no promises. Expect a non-beta release +sometime in August 2008. + +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 insall 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. + +** 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. + +C++ Installation - Windows +========================== + +If you are using Micosoft Visual C++, see vsprojects/readme.txt. + +If you are using Cygwin or MinGW, follow the Unix installation +instructions, above. + +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/ |
