Usage

Building

CMake 3.9+ is required to build.

<install-path> must be an absolute path in the following instructions.

Linux-Only Dependencies

If you are building on Linux, you will need to build aws-lc and s2n-tls first.

git clone [email protected]:awslabs/aws-lc.git
cmake -S aws-lc -B aws-lc/build -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=<install-path>
cmake --build aws-lc/build --target install

git clone [email protected]:aws/s2n-tls.git
cmake -S s2n-tls -B s2n-tls/build -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=<install-path> -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=<install-path>
cmake --build s2n-tls/build --target install

Building aws-c-http and Remaining Dependencies

git clone [email protected]:awslabs/aws-c-common.git
cmake -S aws-c-common -B aws-c-common/build -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=<install-path>
cmake --build aws-c-common/build --target install

git clone [email protected]:awslabs/aws-c-cal.git
cmake -S aws-c-cal -B aws-c-cal/build -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=<install-path> -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=<install-path>
cmake --build aws-c-cal/build --target install

git clone [email protected]:awslabs/aws-c-io.git
cmake -S aws-c-io -B aws-c-io/build -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=<install-path> -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=<install-path>
cmake --build aws-c-io/build --target install

git clone [email protected]:awslabs/aws-c-compression.git
cmake -S aws-c-compression -B aws-c-compression/build -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=<install-path> -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=<install-path>
cmake --build aws-c-compression/build --target install

git clone [email protected]:awslabs/aws-c-http.git
cmake -S aws-c-http -B aws-c-http/build -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=<install-path> -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=<install-path>
cmake --build aws-c-http/build --target install

Run Integration Tests with localhost

To run some of the integration tests (start with localhost_integ_*), you need to set up a localhost that echo the request headers from /echo back first.

To do that, check localhost script we have.

After that, configure and build your cmake project with -DENABLE_LOCALHOST_INTEGRATION_TESTS=true to build the tests with localhost and run them from ctest --output-on-failure -R localhost_integ_*.
