Geode Native C++ and .Net Examples

Prerequisites

• Install Apache Geode
• Install CMake
• Build and install Apache Geode Native
• Set GEODE_HOME to the install directory of Apache Geode
• For Windows: Visual Studio 2017
• Optional: OpenSSL (to run the SSL examples)

Building the Examples

1. Copy the examples directory from the native client installation folder to a folder in your workspace.

   For Windows: For reliable behavior of the example scripts, do not choose a workspace with directory names or filenames that contain spaces.

2. Navigate to the examples directory and use cmake to build all examples. For non-Windows systems, the commands are:

   $ cd workspace/examples
   $ mkdir build
   $ cd build
   $ cmake .. -DGeodeNative_ROOT="<geode-native-install-dir>"
   $ cmake --build . -- <optional parallelism parameter>
   

where the optional parallelism parameter is of the form -j n.

For Windows: Include options that specify the generator, the architecture toolset, and the path to the Geode Native installation:

```
$ cd workspace\examples\
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake .. -G"Visual Studio 15 2017 Win64" -DGeodeNative_ROOT="<geode-native-install-dir>"
$ cmake --build . -- <optional parallelism parameter>
```

Running the Examples

To run an example,

1. Navigate to the directory for a specific example.
2. Follow the directions in the README.md file in that directory.
