# Building C++ Client

To compile cpp client, add "-P compile-cpp" option to maven build command.

The compiling requires the module "compile-tools" to be built first.
For more information, please refer to "compile-tools/README.md".


## Compile and Test:

`mvn integration-test -P compile-cpp -pl client-cpp,server -am -Diotdb.test.skip=true -Dtsfile.test.skip=true -Djdbc.test.skip=true`

To compile on Windows, please install Boost first and add following Maven settings:
```
-Dboost.include.dir=${your boost header folder} -Dboost.library.dir=${your boost lib (stage) folder}` 
```

e.g.,
```
mvn integration-test -P compile-cpp -pl client-cpp,server,example/client-cpp-example -am 
-D"iotdb.test.skip"=true -D"tsfile.test.skip"=true -D"jdbc.test.skip"=true 
-D"boost.include.dir"="D:\boost_1_75_0" -D"boost.library.dir"="D:\boost_1_75_0\stage\lib"
```

## 

If the compilation finishes successfully, the packaged zip file will be placed under
"client-cpp/target/client-cpp-${project.version}-cpp-${os}.zip". 

On Mac machines, the hierarchy of the package should look like this:
```
.
+-- client
|   +-- include
|       +-- Session.h
|       +-- TSIService.h
|       +-- rpc_types.h
|       +-- rpc_constants.h
|       +-- thrift
|           +-- thrift_headers...
|   +-- lib
|       +-- libiotdb_session.dylib
```
