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/ |
