Windows Install

Requirement

• C++11

Compiling and installing

This documentation aims to provide the building steps for a Windows environment containing the following tools:

• Appropriate terminal/shell
• Git (throw command-line)
• CMake (throw command-line)
• VS 2012+ (for C++11 support)

The library is based on cmake for the compilation. In order to build the library, you have to open a terminal and follow these steps:

# Clone the project
git clone https://github.com/Cylix/cpp_redis.git
# Go inside the the project directory
cd cpp_redis
# Get tacopie submodule
git submodule init && git submodule update
# Generate the Makefile using CMake
cmake .

This will generate a cpp_redis.sln file (that is, a Visual Studio solution).

• Open this file with Visual Studio.
• Build the solution in the configuration (Debug, Release, ...) and for the platform (32, 64) of your choice.

Then, you can update your VC++ project configuration:

• VC++ Directories > Include Directories: Add CPP_REDIS_FOLDER_PATH/includes and CPP_REDIS_FOLDER_PATH/tacopie/includes (with the appropriate value of CPP_REDIS_FOLDER_PATH).
• VC++ Directories > Library Directories: Add CPP_REDIS_FOLDER_PATH/{Debug|Release|...}/ (with the appropriate value of CPP_REDIS_FOLDER_PATH and configuration).
• Linker > Input > Additional Dependencies: Add cpp_redis.lib and tacopie.lib.

Finally, you just have to include <cpp_redis/cpp_redis> in your source files.

Customizing compilation and installation

Please refer to this page of the wiki.

Special note

If you have a warning like the following when trying to link the library with your project:

error LNK2038: mismatch detected for 'RuntimeLibrary': value 'MTd_StaticDebug' doesn't match value 'MDd_DynamicDebug'

This is because there is a conflict between the Runtime Library used to compile cpp_redis and the Runtime Library used by another library you are using.

By default, cpp_redis is compiled using /MT mode, but you can use the MSVC_RUNTIME_LIBRARY_CONFIG cmake variable to override this setting.
