AWS IoT Device SDK for C++ v2

This document provides information about the AWS IoT device SDK for C++ V2.

If you have any issues or feature requests, please file an issue or pull request.

This SDK is built on the AWS Common Runtime, a collection of libraries (aws-c-common, aws-c-io, aws-c-mqtt, aws-c-http, aws-c-cal, aws-c-auth, s2n...) written in C to be cross-platform, high-performance, secure, and reliable. The libraries are bound to C++ by the aws-crt-cpp package.

Installation

Minimum Requirements

C++ 11 or higher
- Clang 3.9+ or GCC 4.8+ or MSVC 2015+
CMake 3.1+

Step-by-step instructions

Build from source

MacOS and Linux

# Create a workspace directory to hold all the SDK files
mkdir sdk-workspace
cd sdk-workspace
# Clone the repository
git clone --recursive https://github.com/aws/aws-iot-device-sdk-cpp-v2.git
# Ensure all submodules are properly updated
cd aws-iot-device-sdk-cpp-v2
git submodule update --init --recursive
cd ..
# Make a build directory for the SDK. Can use any name.
# If working with multiple SDKs, using a SDK-specific name is helpful.
mkdir aws-iot-device-sdk-cpp-v2-build
cd aws-iot-device-sdk-cpp-v2-build
# Generate the SDK build files.
# -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX needs to be the absolute/full path to the directory.
#     (Example: "/Users/example/sdk-workspace/).
# -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE can be "Release", "RelWithDebInfo", or "Debug"
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="<absolute path to sdk-workspace>" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE="Debug" ../aws-iot-device-sdk-cpp-v2
# Build and install the library. Once installed, you can develop with the SDK and run the samples
cmake --build . --target install

Windows

# Create a workspace directory to hold all the SDK files
mkdir sdk-workspace
cd sdk-cpp-workspace
# Clone the repository
git clone --recursive https://github.com/aws/aws-iot-device-sdk-cpp-v2.git
# Ensure all submodules are properly updated
cd aws-iot-device-sdk-cpp-v2
git submodule update --init --recursive
cd ..
# Make a build directory for the SDK. Can use any name.
# If working with multiple SDKs, using a SDK-specific name is helpful.
mkdir aws-iot-device-sdk-cpp-v2-build
cd aws-iot-device-sdk-cpp-v2-build
# Generate the SDK build files.
# -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX needs to be the absolute/full path to the directory.
#     (Example: "C:/users/example/sdk-workspace/).
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="<absolute path sdk-cpp-workspace dir>" ../aws-iot-device-sdk-cpp-v2
# Build and install the library. Once installed, you can develop with the SDK and run the samples
# -config can be "Release", "RelWithDebInfo", or "Debug"
cmake --build . --target install --config "Debug"

Windows specific notes:

Due to maximum path length limitations in the Windows API, we recommend cloning to a short path like: C:\dev\iotsdk
--config is only REQUIRED for multi-configuration build tools (VisualStudio/MsBuild being the most common).
