The Scylla C/C++ Driver will build on most standard Unix-like and Microsoft Windows platforms. Packages are available for the following platforms:
These packages can be successfully installed on other, compatible systems, but we do not support such configurations and recommend building from sources instead. Please note that although Microsoft Windows and OS X builds are possible, ScyllaDB does not support these platforms.
Compilers: GCC 4.1.2+ Clang 3.4+, and MSVC 2012+
The C/C++ driver depends on the following software:
* Use the CASS_USE_OPENSSL CMake option to enable/disable OpenSSL
support. Disabling this option will disable SSL/TLS protocol support
within the driver; defaults to On.
** Use the CASS_USE_ZLIB CMake option to enable/disable zlib support.
Defaults to On.
*** Use the CASS_USE_KERBEROS CMake option to enable/disable Kerberos
support. Enabling this option will enable Kerberos authentication
protocol within the driver (currently unusupproted by Scylla);
defaults to Off.
The driver is known to build on CentOS/RHEL 6/7/8, Mac OS X 10.10/10.11 (Yosemite and El Capitan), Mac OS 10.12/10.13 (Sierra and High Sierra), and Ubuntu 14.04/16.04/18.04 LTS.
NOTE: The driver will also build on most standard Unix-like systems using GCC 4.1.2+ or Clang 3.4+.
yum install automake cmake gcc-c++ git libtool
apt-get update
apt-get install build-essential cmake git
Homebrew (or brew) is a free and open-source software package management system that simplifies the installation of software on the Mac OS operating system. Ensure Homebrew is installed before proceeding.
brew update
brew upgrade
brew install autoconf automake cmake libtool
yum install krb5-devel
apt-get install libkrb5-dev
libuv v1.x should be used in order to ensure all features of the C/C++ driver are available. When using a package manager for your operating system make sure you install v1.x. Recent package repositories tend to have it available.
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libuv-dev
sudo dnf install libuv-devel
If your package manager is not able to locate libuv, you might still be able to
install it from EPEL:
sudo yum install -y epel-release
sudo yum install -y libuv-devel
brew install libuv
The following procedures should be performed if packages are not available for your system.
pushd /tmp
wget http://dist.libuv.org/dist/v1.34.0/libuv-v1.35.0.tar.gz
tar xzf libuv-v1.35.0.tar.gz
pushd libuv-v1.35.0
sh autogen.sh
./configure
make install
popd
popd
yum install openssl-devel
apt-get install libssl-dev
brew install openssl
Note: For Mac OS X 10.11 (El Capitan) and Mac OS 10.12/10.13 (Sierra and High Sierra) a link needs to be created in order to make OpenSSL available to the building libraries:
brew link --force openssl
pushd /tmp
wget --no-check-certificate https://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-1.0.2u.tar.gz
tar xzf openssl-1.0.2u.tar.gz
pushd openssl-1.0.2u
CFLAGS=-fpic ./config shared
make install
popd
popd
yum install zlib-devel
apt-get install zlib1g-dev
brew install zlib
pushd /tmp
wget --no-check-certificate https://www.zlib.net/zlib-1.2.11.tar.gz
tar xzf zlib-1.2.11.tar.gz
pushd zlib-1.2.11
./configure
make install
popd
popd
mkdir build
pushd build
cmake ..
make
make install
popd
Examples are not built by default and need to be enabled. Update your CMake line to build examples.
cmake -DCASS_BUILD_EXAMPLES=On ..
Tests (integration and unit) are not built by default and need to be enabled.
cmake -DCASS_BUILD_TESTS=On ..
Note: This will build both the integration and unit tests
cmake -DCASS_BUILD_INTEGRATION_TESTS=On ..
cmake -DCASS_BUILD_UNIT_TESTS=On ..
The driver is known to build with Visual Studio 2010, 2012, 2013, 2015, 2017, and 2019.
Download and install Bison
Make sure Bison is in your system PATH and not installed in a directory with
spaces (e.g. %SYSTEMDRIVE%\GnuWin32)
Download and install CMake
Make sure to select the option “Add CMake to the system PATH for all users” or “Add CMake to the system PATH for current user”
Download and install Strawberry Perl or ActiveState Perl
Make sure to select the option “Add Perl to PATH environment variable”
Download and install Kerberos for Windows v4.0.1
First you will need to open a “Command Prompt” to execute the CMake commands.
Supported generators are:
Visual Studio 10 2010
Visual Studio 11 2012
Visual Studio 12 2013
Visual Studio 14 2015
Visual Studio 15 2017
Visual Studio 16 2019
mkdir build
pushd build
cmake -G "Visual Studio 16 2019" -A x64 ..
cmake --build .
popd
Note: To build 32-bit binaries/libraries use -A Win32.
Examples are not built by default and need to be enabled. Update your CMake line to build examples.
cmake -G "Visual Studio 16 2019" -A x64 -DCASS_BUILD_EXAMPLES=On ..
Tests (integration and unit) are not built by default and need to be enabled.
cmake -G "Visual Studio 16 2019" -A x64 -DCASS_BUILD_TESTS=On ..
Note: This will build both the integration and unit tests
cmake -G "Visual Studio 16 2019" -A x64 -DCASS_BUILD_INTEGRATION_TESTS=On ..
cmake -G "Visual Studio 16 2019" -A x64 -DCASS_BUILD_UNIT_TESTS=On ..
