Unable to build golang rocksdb wrapper on windows 10
Building a Go wrapper for RocksDB on Windows can sometimes be tricky due to platform-specific dependencies and build requirements. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and build the RocksDB wrapper for Go on Windows 10:
Prerequisites:
Ensure you have Go and a working Go development environment set up on your Windows 10 machine.RocksDB Installation:
Follow the official RocksDB documentation to build RocksDB from source on Windows: https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/blob/main/INSTALL.md#windowsRocksDB Go Wrapper Installation:
To build the Go wrapper, you need to install thegithub.com/tecbot/gorocksdb
package. Run the following command to install it:arduinogo get github.com/tecbot/gorocksdb
CMake and CGO:
Make sure you have CMake installed on your Windows machine and that it's available in your system's PATH. The Go RocksDB wrapper uses CGO, which requires C libraries to be available during the build process.CMake Generator:
When building RocksDB using CMake, make sure to specify the correct generator for your build environment. For example, if you're using the Command Prompt or PowerShell, you might need to usecmake -G "NMake Makefiles"
.CGO LDFLAGS:
If you face linker issues during the build, you might need to specify the necessary LDFLAGS for CGO in the build command. For example:gogo build -tags "static" -ldflags "-L/path/to/rocksdb -lrocksdb -lsnappy -lz -lbz2 -llz4 -lzstd"
Environment Variables:
Make sure your environment variables are set correctly. The CGO_CFLAGS and CGO_LDFLAGS should point to the RocksDB header and library directories.Include Paths:
If you're using the RocksDB static library, ensure the include paths and library paths are set correctly.Go Build:
Finally, attempt to build your Go program using the importedgithub.com/tecbot/gorocksdb
package.
Keep in mind that building software on Windows might be different from building on Unix-like systems, and some packages might not work seamlessly due to differences in build tools and libraries.
If you encounter specific errors during the build process, it might be helpful to provide more details about the errors you're facing so that developers can offer more targeted assistance.
