Build Instructions
- This project requires the MaidSafe Super Project to be setup. Please follow the build instructions for your platform from the linked Super project Wiki.
Currently the only target required from the super project is maidsafe_rudp. Please note Android builds also require additional CMake arguments to be provided to the super project when running CMake. This will be detailed later
- SWIG - Please follow the build/install instructions from the SWIG website to get SWIG configured on your machine.
- Android - Only supported in Linux.
- CSharp - Limited to Windows with MSVC.
- Nodejs - Only supports Release builds
- Python - None
- Android SDK
- CrystaX NDK - Generate a standalone tool-chain with the crystax NDK.
Switch the --platform to the API level you wish to create the port for.
cd <crystax-ndk-root-dir>
./build/tools/make-standalone-toolchain.sh --system=linux-x86_64 --toolchain=arm-linux-androideabi-4.8 --platform=android-21 --install-dir=../android-ndk-crystax-standalone-toolchain-4.8-21
MaidSafe Super Project -
Create a new build folder for Android builds and run CMake such as
cmake <normal arguments> -DANDROID_BUILD=ON -DANDROID_NDK_TOOLCHAIN_ROOT=<path to standalone tool-chain install dir>
make maidsafe_rudp
MaidSafe-Ports Project -
Create a new build folder for Android builds and run CMake with the following arguments.
-DMAIDSAFE_BINARY_DIR=<path to the Android build folder for MaidSafe Super Project>
-DSWIG_BINARY_DIR=<path to SWIG binary dir>
-DANDROID_SDK_ROOT=<path to android sdk root>
-DANDROID_NDK_ROOT=<path to crystax ndk root. Not standalone toolchain root>
This should now expose the targets android_port and android_sample. Run make with either to build the corresponding target.
MaidSafe Super Project -
Build target maidsafe_rudp.
MaidSafe-Ports Project -
Run CMake with the arguments -DMAIDSAFE_BINARY_DIR=<path to the MaidSafe Super Project build folder> -DSWIG_BINARY_DIR=<path to SWIG binary dir>
This should now expose the targets csharp_port and csharp_sample. csharp_sample will build a sample app(which uses MaidSafe libs) and also run it as part of it's build process.
In some Linux systems node does not point to nodejs and instead points to another app. Please verify this isn't the case on your machine.
MaidSafe Super Project -
cmake <normal arguments> -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
make maidsafe_rudp
Only Release builds are supported for nodejs
MaidSafe-Ports Project -
Run CMake with the arguments -DMAIDSAFE_BINARY_DIR=<path to the MaidSafe Super Project build folder> -DSWIG_BINARY_DIR=<path to SWIG binary dir>
This should now expose the targets nodejs_port and nodejs_sample. nodejs_sample will build a sample app(which uses MaidSafe libs) and also run it as part of it's build process.
- Python Libs - Depending on your platform install/fetch-python-dev package.
MaidSafe Super Project -
Build target maidsafe_rudp.
MaidSafe-Ports Project -
Run CMake with the arguments -DMAIDSAFE_BINARY_DIR=<path to the MaidSafe Super Project build folder> -DSWIG_BINARY_DIR=<path to SWIG binary dir>
This should now expose the targets python_port and python_sample. python_sample will build a sample(which uses MaidSafe libs) and also run it as part of it's build process.
