| # Mojo C++ SDK |
| |
| This is a minimal SDK for writing/building Mojo applications/services in C++. |
| Currently, it supports building for Linux. (**TODO(vtl)**: Support other |
| configurations/targets.) |
| |
| It includes a simple Makefile that demonstrates building a couple of simple |
| example applications/services (in `examples/hello_mojo`). Note that the Makefile |
| is intended to be illustrative, and not for maximal correctness or practicality |
| (for example, it does not deal with dependencies correctly). |
| |
| Users of the SDK are expected to set up builds in an appropriate way for their |
| situation, but the Makefile should show the key steps (in particular, generating |
| the C++ source files from Mojom files). |
| |
| ## Prerequisites |
| |
| To fetch the Mojom tool and clang: |
| * bash |
| * python 2.7 |
| |
| To build the examples: |
| * binutils |
| * make |
| |
| ## Set up |
| |
| To generate code from Mojom files, one needs the Mojom tool. Running the |
| following causes the binary to be downloaded: |
| |
| $ mojo_sdk_setup/download_mojom_tool.sh |
| |
| The included Makefile uses clang. The following downloads a suitable version of |
| clang: |
| |
| $ mojo_sdk_setup/download_clang.sh |
| |
| (One should be able to build using another compiler with sufficient C++11 |
| support.) |
| |
| ## Building the examples |
| |
| To build the included examples: |
| |
| $ make -j8 |
| |
| (or similar). All the build output is put into the `out` subdirectory. The |
| examples themselves are `hello_mojo_client.mojo` and `hello_mojo_server.mojo`. |
