The exported API of HP-Socket for Linux is consistent with HP-Socket for Windows, but the implementation code is completely separated. HP-Socket for Linux uses the features of the C++14 standard, and thus need to be compiled by a compiler which version is GCC 5.x and above, and the compilation and execution environments of HP-Socket requires Linux kernel version 2.6.32 and above.
Binary library files and sample executable files are available in the HP-Socket distribution. These files were compiled with GCC 6.3.1 under Linux kernel version 2.6.32. Alternatively, you can compile these files using the following two options:
- Visual C++ for Linux Development plug-in: The HP-Socket distribution contains a series of Visual Studio Solutions, which were used to compile HP-Socket library and demos, you can compile them by yourself after install and configure the Visual C++ for Linux Development plug-in.
- compile.sh: You can compile HP-Socket library files yourself using compile.sh shell script. But compile.sh only compile library files and will not compile sample executable files.
$ ./compile.sh -h
Usage: compile.sh [...O.P.T.I.O.N.S...]
----------------------+-------------------------------------------------
-d|--with-debug-lib : compile debug libs (default: true)
-j|--use-jemalloc : use jemalloc in release libs
: (x86/x64 default: true, ARM default: false)
-u|--udp-enabled : enable UDP components (default: true)
-t|--http-enabled : enable HTTP components (default: true)
-s|--ssl-enabled : enable SSL components (default: true)
-z|--zlib-enabled : enable ZLIB related functions (default: true)
-i|--iconv-enabled : enable ICONV related functions (default: true)
-c|--compiler : compiler (default: g++)
-p|--platform : platform: x86 / x64 / ARM
: (default: current machine arch platform)
-e|--clean : clean compilation intermediate temp files
-r|--remove : remove all compilation target files
-v|--version : print hp-socket version
-h|--help : print this usage message
----------------------+-------------------------------------------------
Use install.sh shell script to install HP-Socket library files and sample executable files to your system.
$ sudo ./install.sh -h
Usage: install.sh [...O.P.T.I.O.N.S...]
-----------------+------------------------------------------------------
-p|--prefix : install/uninstall path (default: /usr/local)
-l|--libdir : lib dir (x86/ARM default: 'lib', x64 default: 'lib64')
-d|--with-demo : install demos or not (default: false)
-u|--uninstall : execute uninstall operation from install path
-v|--version : print hp-socket version
-h|--help : print this usage message
-----------------+------------------------------------------------------
Note: The complle.sh build script depends on the script/, src/, include/, and dependent/ directories of the distribution; the install.sh install script depends on the script/, include/, and lib/ directories of the distribution, if you want to install the sample executable files, it also need to depends on the demo/Release/ directory.
HP-Socket provides Android NDK build script build-android-ndk.sh (build-android-ndk.bat on Windows). After installing and configuring the NDK, execute build-android-ndk.sh to build it. By default, the build script will build all of ABI's dynamic libraries and static libraries supported by the current NDK, and output the library files to lib/android-ndk/ directory. If you have special needs, please set the corresponding command line parameters for build-android-ndk.sh.
Build HP-Socket libraries use default settings:
$ cd HP-Socket/Linux
$ ./build-android-ndk.sh
By default, the build script generates libraries for all non-deprecated ABIs. You can modify the APP_ABI parameter for build-android-ndk.sh to generate libraries for specific ABIs.
(for example: only generate armeabi-v7a and x86 libraries):
$ ./build-android-ndk.sh APP_ABI=armeabi-v7a,x86
By default, all optional features (UDP, SSL, HTTP, ZLIB, ICONV) were enabled. You can set one or more _XXX_DISABLED=true parameters for build-android-ndk.sh to disable corresponding features.
- _UDP_DISABLED=true (disable UDP)
- _SSL_DISABLED=true (disable SSL)
- _HTTP_DISABLED=true (disable HTTP)
- _ZLIB_DISABLED=true (disable ZLIB)
- _ICONV_DISABLED=true (disable ICONV)
(for example: disable SSL and ICONV features):
$ ./build-android-ndk.sh _SSL_DISABLED=true _ICONV_DISABLED=true
Note: If you disable one or more features, you need to define corresponding macros while compiling your application. for example: If you disable the SSL and ICONV features of HP-Socket library, when you compile the application that uses this library, need to define macro like: -D_SSL_DISABLED -D_ICONV_DISABLED.
For more details of build-android-ndk.sh command, please refer to the ndk-build official documentation.
The following example demonstrates: building armeabi-v7a and x86_64 ABI targets; disabling UDP, ZLIB, and ICONV features; library files output to lib/android-ndk/ directory; obj files output to lib/Android-ndk/obj/ directory:
$ ./build-android-ndk.sh APP_ABI=armeabi-v7a,x86_64 \
_UDP_DISABLED=true \
_ZLIB_DISABLED=true \
_ICONV_DISABLED=true \
NDK_LIBS_OUT=./lib/android-ndk \
NDK_OUT=./lib/android-ndk/obj
