Zserio Compiler Build Instructions

This section describes zserio build instructions for developers. If you are users, it should be normally enough just to download the latest build of the zserio compiler and runtime libraries from Zserio Releases.

Zserio Projects

Before we start to describe build instructions for zserio compiler, it’s good to known which independent projects can be found in zserio repository.

Zserio consists of the following independent projects:

Prerequisites

Before you start building, make sure you have the following components installed:

Building by Bash Script

The easiest way how to build zserio compiler is by using prepared Bash script build.sh located in project’s folder scripts.

This script builds Zserio projects and installs them in folder distr (located in project’s root by default).

Usage

The script build.sh has the following usage:

build.sh [-h,--help] package...

The argument package can be the arbitrary combination of the following packages:

Package Description
ant_task Zserio Ant task.
core Zserio Core.
cpp Zserio C++ extension.
cpp_rt-linux32 Zserio C++ extension runtime library for native linux32 (gcc).
cpp_rt-linux64 Zserio C++ extension runtime library for native linux64 (gcc).
cpp_rt-windows64-mingw Zserio C++ extension runtime library for windows64 target (MinGW64).
cpp_rt-windows64-msvc Zserio C++ extension runtime library for windows64 target (MSVC).
java Zserio Java extension.
java_rt Zserio Java extension runtime library.
python Zserio Python extension.
python_rt Zserio Python extension runtime library.
xml Zserio XML extension.
doc Zserio Documentation extension.
zserio Zserio bundle (Zserio Core packed together with all already built extensions).
all-linux32 All available packages for linux32.
all-linux64 All available packages for linux64.
all-windows64-mingw All available packages for windows64 (MinGW).
all-windows64-msvc All available packages for windows64 (MSVC).

Examples

The following command creates Zserio bundle jar with Java extension together with Java runtime library jar in distr directory:

./build.sh core java java_rt zserio

The following command creates Zserio bundle jar with C++ extension together with C++ runtime library for linux64 platform in distr directory:

./build.sh core cpp cpp_rt-linux64 zserio

The following command creates Zserio bundle jar with Python extension together with Python runtime library in distr directory:

./build.sh core python python_rt zserio

The following command creates Zserio bundle jar with all available extensions together with all runtime libraries for linux64 platform in distr directory:

./build.sh all-linux64

Building by Hand

If you don’t like Bash script, you can build Zserio by hand.

Java projects use Ant and can be built by the command:

ant install

There is one exception for Zserio bundle jar which is built by the command:

ant zserio_bundle.install

C++ projects use CMake and can be build by commands:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
cmake --build .

Please don’t forget about dependencies. Zserio core must be build before all extensions and Zserio bundle must be built as the last one.

Examples

The following command creates Zserio bundle jar with Java extension together with Java runtime library jar in distr directory:

ant install
ant -f compiler/extensions/java install
ant -f compiler/extensions/java/runtime install
ant zserio_bundle.install
