gRPC-based Google API installation assistance for C++

• Follow Google's guide to configure the system and run test.

• Remember to create an App engine (e.g. Python)!

  • Installation Order
    1. protobuf 3.1.0
    2. latest gRPC (not release version)
    3. Google APIs

• use the Makefile to package and install the google APIs into the system for easier compilation:

   $ make
   $ (sudo) make install

(this Makefile is modified from the same guide)

• link against 'googleapis' statically

Note

• GOOGLEAPIS_GENS_PATH must be set correctly use ' nano ~/.bashrc' and add the following line to the end of the file :

   export GOOGLEAPIS_GENS_PATH=$HOME/path/to/googleapis/gens
