GN C++ Frontend SDK
Prerequisites
Supported host platforms and build systems
The GN C++ Frontend SDK samples only support Linux hosts and the GN build system.
Supported Fuchsia device CPU architectures
Fuchsia devices or emulators must have one of the following CPU architectures to run Fuchsia:
x64arm64
Setup
- Install required dependencies:
- Clone the samples repo and submodules:
Note: If you have already cloned this repo without the --recursive flag you can download the submodules: git submodule update --init --recursive
- Change directory to the root of the repo and run the tests:
This script:
- Downloads additional build tool dependencies (may take 5-30 minutes)
- Builds the samples
- Runs tests on your host
If the script fails with an error, address the issue and run the script again.
Testing on a Fuchsia compatible device
Note: This guide assumes a x64 Fuchsia compatible device. For Fuchsia compatible ARM devices
replace x64 with arm64 and generic-x64 and generic-arm64 or other compatible image name in
the instructions below. For a full list of available images install gsutil
and run: gsutil ls gs://fuchsia/development/$(gsutil cat gs://fuchsia/development/LATEST_LINUX)/images
-
Setup your device and install Zedboot: Find the instructions for your device (e.g. a NUC or Chromebook) to setup and install Zedboot on your device.
-
From the
samplesdirectory, create Ninja build files for the samples by running the following command:
- Build the samples by executing the Ninja build files you created in the previous step:
- Make sure your Fuchsia device is booted to Zedboot and connected to your host machine the pave your device:
- Start a package server from your host machine:
- To publish your packages open another another terminal window and run:
third_party/fuchsia-sdk/tools/x64/fpublish out/generic-x64/hello_far.far
third_party/fuchsia-sdk/tools/x64/fpublish out/generic-x64/rot13_server.far
third_party/fuchsia-sdk/tools/x64/fpublish out/generic-x64/rot13_client.far
-
Run the sample components on your Fuchsia device:
- SSH to the device:
- Once SSHed into the device, run the hello world component on the device:
- Run the rot13 server:
- In a new terminal window on your host machine, open a new ssh connection to your device, and run the rot13 client:
