Requirements

Compiler

Pubsuber is tested with the following compilers:

Compiler	Minimum Version
GCC	9.0
Clang	9.0.0
MSVC++	16.4
Apple Clang	11.0.0

Build Tools

Pubsuber can be built with CMake. The minimal versions of cmake is 3.15

Libraries

Pubsuber also depend on gRPC, protobuf, and google API proto files (committed in the repo). Pubsuber is tested with the following versions of these dependencies:

Library	Minimum version	Notes
gRPC	v1.24.x
protobuf	v3.10.1
spdlog	v1.4.2

Tests

TODO: Integration tests at times use the Google pubsub emulator. The integration tests run against the latest version of the SDK on each commit and PR.

Install Dependencies

First install the development tools. Second install required dependencies. Its C++ land and its up to the developer to decide how to install the dependencies.

Build

To build all available libraries and run the tests, run the following commands after cloning this repo:

Linux

# Add -DBUILD_TESTING=OFF to disable tests
mkdir .build
cd .build
cmake ..

# Adjust the number of threads used by modifying parameter for `-j 4`
# following command will also invoke ctest at the end
cmake --build cmake-out -- -j 4

# Verify build by running tests
ctest --output-on-failure

macOS

mkdir .build
cd .build
cmake ..

# Adjust the number of threads used by modifying parameter for `-j 4`
cmake --build cmake-out -- -j 4

# Verify build by running tests
ctest --output-on-failure

Windows

mkdir .build
cd .build
cmake ..

Open visual studio solution and build it

In source pubsuber build

It is possible to have pubsuber as a part of your build subtree.

Using CMake it could be achieved by using FetchContent module.

include(FetchContent)
fetchcontent_declare(pubsuber
                     GIT_REPOSITORY https://github.com/sandvikcode/pubsuber.git
                     GIT_TAG origin/develop)

fetchcontent_getproperties(pubsuber)

if(NOT pubsuber_POPULATED)
  fetchcontent_populate(pubsuber)
  add_subdirectory(${pubsuber_SOURCE_DIR} ${pubsuber_BINARY_DIR} EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL)
endif()

Installing pubsuber using CMake

The default CMake builds for pubsuber assume that all the necessary dependencies are installed in your system. Installing the dependencies may be as simple as using the package manager for your platform, or may require manually downloading, compiling, and installing a number of additional libraries.

Assuming ~/install-test is exist one can run follwing commands from the repo root:

mkdir .build && cd .build
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=~/install-test ..
cmake -j4 install

Versioning

Pubsuber client follows Semantic Versioning.
