Building gRPC with windows 10 and QT creator - C++
To build gRPC with Windows 10 and Qt Creator, you can follow these steps:
Install Visual Studio with the C++ workload and the Windows 10 SDK.
Install CMake and add it to your system PATH.
Download the gRPC source code from GitHub and extract it.
Generate the build files using CMake by running the following command from the gRPC source directory:
vbnetcmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON -DgRPC_INSTALL=ON -DgRPC_BUILD_TESTS=OFF -DgRPC_SSL_PROVIDER=package -G "Visual Studio 16 2019" .
This command generates a Visual Studio solution file in the build directory.
Open the generated solution file in Visual Studio.
Build the solution in Release mode.
Add the gRPC headers and libraries to your Qt project by adding the following lines to your .pro file:
makefileINCLUDEPATH += path/to/grpc/include
LIBS += -Lpath/to/grpc/lib -lgrpc++
Replace "path/to/grpc" with the actual path to the gRPC installation directory.
Build your Qt project in Release mode.
Note: These steps assume that you have already installed Qt Creator and configured it to use the correct version of the MSVC compiler. If you haven't done this yet, you should do it before proceeding.
