GRPC implementation and test
NOTE: files in src/ are shared with the GRPC project, and maintained there
(any changes should be submitted to GRPC instead). These files are copied
from GRPC, and work with both the Protobuf and FlatBuffers code generator.
tests/ contains a GRPC specific test, you need to have built and installed
the GRPC libraries for this to compile. This test will build using the
FLATBUFFERS_BUILD_GRPCTEST option to the main FlatBuffers CMake project.
Building Flatbuffers with gRPC
Linux
- Download, build and install gRPC. See instructions.
- Lets say your gRPC clone is at /your/path/to/grpc_repo.
- Install gRPC in a custom directory by running make install prefix=/your/path/to/grpc_repo/install.
 
- Lets say your gRPC clone is at 
- export GRPC_INSTALL_PATH=/your/path/to/grpc_repo/install
- export PROTOBUF_DOWNLOAD_PATH=/your/path/to/grpc_repo/third_party/protobuf
- mkdir build ; cd build
- cmake -DFLATBUFFERS_BUILD_GRPCTEST=ON -DGRPC_INSTALL_PATH=${GRPC_INSTALL_PATH} -DPROTOBUF_DOWNLOAD_PATH=${PROTOBUF_DOWNLOAD_PATH} ..
- make
Running FlatBuffer gRPC tests
Linux
- ln -s ${GRPC_INSTALL_PATH}/lib/libgrpc++_unsecure.so.6 ${GRPC_INSTALL_PATH}/lib/libgrpc++_unsecure.so.1
- export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:${GRPC_INSTALL_PATH}/lib
- make test ARGS=-V
