Packaginggoogle-cloud-cpp

This document is intended for:

  • Package maintainers that need to understand how to compilegoogle-cloud-cpp from source to create their packaging scripts.
  • Developers who may not be able to use a package manager and want to compile thegoogle-cloud-cpplibraries from source, including their dependencies.
  • Developers who might like to install thegoogle-cloud-cpplibraries in /usr/localor a similar directory.

This document does not cover all cases for buildinggoogle-cloud-cpp.The following are out of scope:

  • Developers who prefer using a package manager such as vcpkg,orConda,should follow the instructions for their package manager.
  • Developers wanting to use the libraries as part of a larger CMake or Bazel project should consult thequickstart guidesfor the library or libraries they want to use.
  • Developers wanting to compile the library just to run examples or tests should consult thebuilding and installing section of the top-level README file.
  • Contributors and developers togoogle-cloud-cppshould consult the guide to set up a development workstation.

Getting the source code

There are two primary ways of obtaininggoogle-cloud-cpp's source code. You can use git:

git clone https://github /googleapis/google-cloud-cpp.git$HOME/google-cloud-cpp

Or obtain the tarball release (see https://github /googleapis/google-cloud-cpp/releasesfor the latest release):

VERSION="vX.Y.Z"
mkdir -p$HOME/google-cloud-cpp
wget -q https://github /googleapis/google-cloud-cpp/archive/${VERSION}.tar.gz
tar -xf${VERSION}.tar.gz -C$HOME/google-cloud-cpp --strip=1

Installinggoogle-cloud-cppwith pre-existing dependencies

Ifall the dependencies ofgoogle-cloud-cppare installed and provide CMake support files, then compiling and installing the libraries requires two commands:

cmake -S.-B cmake-out -DBUILD_TESTING=OFF -DGOOGLE_CLOUD_CPP_ENABLE_EXAMPLES=OFF
cmake --build cmake-out --target install

Unfortunately getting your system to this state may require multiple steps, the following sections describe how to installgoogle-cloud-cppon several platforms.

Common Configuration Variables for CMake

As is often the case, the CMake build can be configured using a number of options and command-line flags. A full treatment of these options is outside the scope of this document, but here are a few highlights:

  • Consider using-GNinjato switch the generator frommake(or msbuild on Windows) toninja.In our experienceninjatakes better advantage of multicore machines. Be aware thatninjais often not installed in development workstations, but it is available through most package managers.
  • If you use the default generator, consider appending-- -j ${NCPU}to the build command, whereNCPUis an environment variable set to the number of processors on your system. You can obtain this information using thenproc command on Linux, orsysctl -n hw.physicalcpuon macOS.
  • By default, CMake compiles thegoogle-cloud-cppas static libraries. The standard-DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ONoption can be used to switch this to shared libraries. Having said this, on Windows there areknown issues with DLLs and generated protos.
  • With the default configuration, our CMake scripts will only compile a small subset of the libraries. As the number of libraries grows, we did not want to impose longer build times on existing customers.
    • You can use the-DGOOGLE_CLOUD_CPP_ENABLE=...option to configure the set of libraries compiled and installed by CMake.
    • For example, passing-DGOOGLE_CLOUD_CPP_ENABLE=storagewill only compile thestoragelibrary. The target for this library is google-cloud-cpp::storage.
    • Thegoogle/cloud/${library}/README.mdfiles describe what services are supported by each library.
    • You can provide more than one library. For example, -DGOOGLE_CLOUD_CPP_ENABLE=pubsub,iam,speechwill compile thepubsub, iam,andspeechlibraries.
    • The default is to compilebigtable,bigquery,iam,logging, pubsub,spanner,andstorage.
    • You can use-DGOOGLE_CLOUD_CPP_ENABLE=__ga_libraries__to compile all the GA libraries.
    • Thestoragelibrary does not depend ongRPCorProtobuf.Customers only using this library can remove the build steps to compile these dependencies.

For more information aboutgoogle-cloud-cppconfiguration options, see the Compile time configurationguide.

Usinggoogle-cloud-cppafter it is installed

Once installed, follow any of thequickstart guidesto usegoogle-cloud-cppin your CMake or Make-based project. If you are planning to use Bazel for your own project, there is no need to install google-cloud-cpp,we provideBUILD.bazelfiles for this purpose. The quickstart guides also cover this use-case.

Required Libraries

google-cloud-cppdirectly depends on the following libraries:

Library Minimum version Description
Abseil 20200923, Patch 3 Abseil C++ common library (Requires >=20210324.2forpkg-configfiles to work correctly)
gRPC 1.35.x An RPC library and framework (not needed for Google Cloud Storage client)
libcurl 7.47.0 HTTP client library for the Google Cloud Storage client
crc32c 1.0.6 Hardware-accelerated CRC32C implementation
OpenSSL 1.0.2 Crypto functions for Google Cloud Storage authentication
nlohmann/json 3.4.0 JSON for Modern C++
protobuf v21.1 C++ Micro-generator support

google-cloud-cppalso has anoptionaldependency on the following libraries:

Library Minimum version Description
OpenTelemetry 1.9.1 An observability framework

Note that these libraries may also depend on other libraries. The following instructions include steps to install these indirect dependencies too.

Install Instructions per Platform

When possible, the instructions below prefer to use pre-packaged versions of these libraries and their dependencies. In some cases the packages do not exist, or the packaged versions are too old to supportgoogle-cloud-cpp.If this is the case, the instructions describe how you can manually download and install these dependencies.

Alpine (Stable)

Install the minimal development tools, libcurl, and OpenSSL:

apk update&&\
apk add bash ca-certificates cmake curl git \
gcc g++ make tar unzip zip zlib-dev

Alpine's version ofpkg-config(https://github /pkgconf/pkgconf) is slow when handling.pcfiles with lots ofRequires:deps, which happens with Abseil, so we use the normalpkg-configbinary, which seems to not suffer from this bottleneck. For more details see pkgconf/pkgconf#229and googleapis#7052.

mkdir -p$HOME/Downloads/pkg-config-cpp&&cd$HOME/Downloads/pkg-config-cpp
curl -fsSL https://pkgconfig.freedesktop.org/releases/pkg-config-0.29.2.tar.gz|\
tar -xzf - --strip-components=1&&\
./configure --with-internal-glib&&\
make -j${NCPU:-4}&&\
sudo make install
exportPKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib64/pkgconfig:/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/lib64/pkgconfig

Dependencies

The versions of Abseil, Protobuf, gRPC, OpenSSL, and nlohmann-json included with Alpine >= 3.16 meetgoogle-cloud-cpp's requirements. We can simply install the development packages

apk update&&\
apk add abseil-cpp-dev c-ares-dev curl-dev grpc-dev \
protobuf-dev nlohmann-json openssl-dev re2-dev

crc32c

The project depends on the Crc32c library, we need to compile this from source:

mkdir -p$HOME/Downloads/crc32c&&cd$HOME/Downloads/crc32c
curl -fsSL https://github /google/crc32c/archive/1.1.2.tar.gz|\
tar -xzf - --strip-components=1&&\
cmake \
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
-DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=yes \
-DCRC32C_BUILD_TESTS=OFF \
-DCRC32C_BUILD_BENCHMARKS=OFF \
-DCRC32C_USE_GLOG=OFF \
-S.-B cmake-out&&\
cmake --build cmake-out -- -j${NCPU:-4}&&\
sudo cmake --build cmake-out --target install -- -j${NCPU:-4}

opentelemetry-cpp

The project has anoptionaldependency on the OpenTelemetry library. We recommend installing this library because:

  • the dependency will become required in the google-cloud-cpp v3.x series.
  • it is needed to produce distributed traces of the library.
mkdir -p$HOME/Downloads/opentelemetry-cpp&&cd$HOME/Downloads/opentelemetry-cpp
curl -fsSL https://github /open-telemetry/opentelemetry-cpp/archive/v1.13.0.tar.gz|\

-DOPENTELEMETRY_INSTALL=ON \
-DOPENTELEMETRY_ABI_VERSION_NO=2 \
-S.-B cmake-out&&\
sudo cmake --build cmake-out --target install -- -j${NCPU:-4}

Compile and install the main project

We can now compile and installgoogle-cloud-cpp:

#Pick a location to install the artifacts, e.g., `/usr/local` or `/opt`
PREFIX="${HOME}/google-cloud-cpp-installed"
cmake -S.-B cmake-out \
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="${PREFIX}"\
-DBUILD_TESTING=OFF \
-DGOOGLE_CLOUD_CPP_ENABLE_EXAMPLES=OFF \
-DGOOGLE_CLOUD_CPP_ENABLE=__ga_libraries__,opentelemetry
cmake --build cmake-out -- -j"$(nproc)"
cmake --build cmake-out --target install
Fedora (38)

Install the minimal development tools:

sudo dnf makecache&&\
sudo dnf install -y cmake curl findutils gcc-c++ git make ninja-build \
openssl-devel patch unzip tar wget zip zlib-devel

Fedora 38 includes packages, with recent enough versions, for most of the direct dependencies ofgoogle-cloud-cpp.

sudo dnf makecache&&\
sudo dnf install -y protobuf-compiler protobuf-devel grpc-cpp grpc-devel \
libcurl-devel google-crc32c-devel

Patching pkg-config

If you are not planning to usepkg-config(1)you can skip these steps.

Fedora's version ofpkg-config(https://github /pkgconf/pkgconf) is slow when handling.pcfiles with lots ofRequires:deps, which happens with Abseil. If you plan to usepkg-configwith any of the installed artifacts, you may want to use a recent version of the standardpkg-configbinary. If not, sudo dnf install pkgconfigshould work.

mkdir -p$HOME/Downloads/pkg-config-cpp&&cd$HOME/Downloads/pkg-config-cpp
curl -fsSL https://pkgconfig.freedesktop.org/releases/pkg-config-0.29.2.tar.gz|\
tar -xzf - --strip-components=1&&\
./configure --with-internal-glib&&\
make -j${NCPU:-4}&&\
sudo make install&&\
sudo ldconfig

Older versions of Fedora hard-code RE2 to use C++11. It was fixed starting with Fedora:38. If you using Fedora >= 38 or you are not planning to use pkg-config(1)you can ignore this step. Alternatively, you can install RE2 and gRPC from source.

sed -i 's/-std=c\+\+11 //' /usr/lib64/pkgconfig/re2.pc

The following steps will install libraries and tools in/usr/local.By default, pkg-config does not search in these directories.

exportPKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/share/pkgconfig:/usr/lib64/pkgconfig:/usr/local/lib64/pkgconfig

nlohmann_json library

The project depends on the nlohmann_json library. We use CMake to install it as this installs the necessary CMake configuration files. Note that this is a header-only library, and often installed manually. This leaves your environment without support for CMake pkg-config.

mkdir -p$HOME/Downloads/json&&cd$HOME/Downloads/json

-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="${PREFIX}"\

-DGOOGLE_CLOUD_CPP_ENABLE_EXAMPLES=OFF \
-DGOOGLE_CLOUD_CPP_ENABLE=__ga_libraries__,opentelemetry
cmake --build cmake-out -- -j"$(nproc)"
cmake --build cmake-out --target install
openSUSE (Leap)

Install the minimal development tools, libcurl and OpenSSL.

NOTE:The default compiler on openSUSE (GCC 7.5.0) crashes while compiling some of the files generated by Protobuf. Minor variations in the Protobuf version or the libraries changes where the compiler crashes. We recommend you use GCC 8 or higher to compilegoogle-cloud-cpp.

sudo zypper refresh&&\
sudo zypper install --allow-downgrade -y automake cmake curl \
gcc gcc-c++ gcc8 gcc8-c++ git gzip libcurl-devel libopenssl-devel \
libtool make patch re2-devel tar wget zlib zlib-devel-static

The following steps will install libraries and tools in/usr/local.openSUSE does not search for shared libraries in these directories by default. There are multiple ways to solve this problem, the following steps are one solution:

(echo"/usr/local/lib";echo"/usr/local/lib64")|\
sudo tee /etc/ld.so.conf.d/usrlocal.conf
exportPKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/local/lib64/pkgconfig
exportPATH=/usr/local/bin:${PATH}

Abseil

Patching pkg-config

If you are not planning to usepkg-config(1)you can skip these steps.

Debian's version ofpkg-config(https://github /pkgconf/pkgconf) is slow when handling.pcfiles with lots ofRequires:deps, which happens with Abseil. If you plan to usepkg-configwith any of the installed artifacts, you may want to use a recent version of the standardpkg-configbinary. If not, sudo dnf install pkgconfigshould work.

Rocky Linux (9)

Install the minimal development tools, libcurl, OpenSSL, and the c-ares library (required by gRPC):

sudo dnf makecache&&\
sudo dnf update -y&&\
sudo dnf install -y epel-release&&\
sudo dnf makecache&&\
sudo dnf install -y cmake findutils gcc-c++ git make openssl-devel \
patch zlib-devel libcurl-devel c-ares-devel tar wget which

Rocky Linux's version ofpkg-config(https://github /pkgconf/pkgconf) is slow when handling.pcfiles with lots ofRequires:deps, which happens with Abseil. If you plan to usepkg-configwith any of the installed artifacts, you may want to use a recent version of the standardpkg-configbinary. If not, sudo dnf install pkgconfigshould work.

mkdir -p$HOME/Downloads/pkg-config-cpp&&cd$HOME/Downloads/pkg-config-cpp
curl -fsSL https://pkgconfig.freedesktop.org/releases/pkg-config-0.29.2.tar.gz|\
tar -xzf - --strip-components=1&&\
./configure --with-internal-glib&&\
make -j${NCPU:-4}&&\
sudo make install&&\
sudo ldconfig

The following steps will install libraries and tools in/usr/local.By default, Rocky Linux 9 does not search for shared libraries in these directories, there are multiple ways to solve this problem, the following steps are one solution:

(echo"/usr/local/lib";echo"/usr/local/lib64")|\
sudo tee /etc/ld.so.conf.d/usrlocal.conf
exportPKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/local/lib64/pkgconfig:/usr/lib64/pkgconfig
exportPATH=/usr/local/bin:${PATH}

Abseil

Rocky Linux 9 includes a package for Abseil, unfortunately, this package is incomplete, as it lacks the CMake support files for it. We need to compile Abseiil from source. EnablingABSL_PROPAGATE_CXX_STDpropagates the version of C++ used to compile Abseil to anything that depends on Abseil.

Protobuf

Rocky Linux ships with Protobuf 3.14.x. Some of the libraries in google-cloud-cpprequire Protobuf >= 3.15.8. For simplicity, we will just install Protobuf (and any downstream packages) from source.

gRPC

We also need a version of gRPC that is recent enough to support the Google Cloud Platform proto files. Note that gRPC overrides the default C++ standard version to C++14, we need to configure it to use the platform's default. We manually install it using:

nlohmann_json library

The project depends on the nlohmann_json library. We use CMake to install it as this installs the necessary CMake configuration files. Note that this is a header-only library, and often installed manually. This leaves your environment without support for CMake pkg-config.

mkdir -p$HOME/Downloads/json&&cd$HOME/Downloads/json

opentelemetry-cpp

The project has anoptionaldependency on the OpenTelemetry library. We recommend installing this library because:

  • the dependency will become required in the google-cloud-cpp v3.x series.
  • it is needed to produce distributed traces of the library.

CentOS (7)

First install the development tools and OpenSSL. The development tools distributed with CentOS 7 are too old to build the project. In these instructions, we usecmake3andgcc-7obtained from Software Collections.

sudo rpm -Uvh https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm
sudo yum install -y centos-release-scl yum-utils
sudo yum-config-manager --enable rhel-server-rhscl-7-rpms
sudo yum makecache&&\
sudo yum install -y automake cmake3 curl-devel devtoolset-7 gcc gcc-c++ \
git libtool make openssl-devel patch re2-devel tar wget which zlib-devel
sudo ln -sf /usr/bin/cmake3 /usr/bin/cmake&&sudo ln -sf /usr/bin/ctest3 /usr/bin/ctest

Start a bash shell with its environment configured to use the tools installed by devtoolset-7.

IMPORTANT:All the following commands should be run from this new shell.

sclenabledevtoolset-7 bash

CentOS-7 ships withpkg-config0.27.1, which has a bugthat can make invocations take extremely long to complete. If you plan to usepkg-config with any of the installed artifacts, you'll want to upgrade it to something newer. If not,sudo yum install pkgconfigshould work instead.

mkdir -p$HOME/Downloads/pkg-config-cpp&&cd$HOME/Downloads/pkg-config-cpp

macOS

First install Xcode to get all the needed development tools. These instructions also useHomebrewto install the needed third-party dependencies.

If you don't already have Xcode installed:

xcode-select --install

Follow the instructions athttps://brew.shto install Homebrew. Then install the needed dependencies:

#Some additional build tools
brew install cmake ninja
#Installs google-cloud-cpp's needed deps
brew install abseil protobuf grpc nlohmann-json crc32c [email protected]

⚠️By default, Abseil's ABI changes depending on whether it is used with C++ >= 17 enabled or not. Installing Abseil with the default configuration is error-prone, unless you can guarantee that all the code using Abseil (gRPC, google-cloud-cpp, your own code, etc.) is compiled with the same C++ version. Homebrew's version of Abseil is compiled with C++17 and requires that all dependencies are thus compiled. Seeabseil/abseil-cpp#696,and the homebrew formulafor more information.

Now configure, build, and install thegoogle-cloud-cpplibraries that you need. In this example, we install thestorageand spannerlibraries. Please see the Compile time configurationguide for more details about how to configure thegoogle-cloud-cppbuilds.
