Protocol buffers build for Linux ARM systems
This sets up a debian-based Linux ARM system to compile Google's Protocol Buffers. Since Google currently does not have builds for Linux running on ARM chips and the build cycle can take several hours, a binary releases are provided.
We use converge to manage system configurations.
This can be used on a Raspberry Pi devices, or on C1 scaleway ARM-based systems.
Precompiled binares are available at the releases page.
To install, unpack the zip file into a directory like /usr/local:
unzip protoc-3.1.0-linux-arm.zip
Install converge onto your system. The install script will automatically download a Linux ARM version of the binary:
curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/asteris-llc/converge/master/install-converge.sh | sudo bash -
Once converge is installed, set up the build environment.
converge apply --local protobuf-setup.hcl
The setup module installs packages required to build Protocol Buffers, downloads the source and runs autogen.sh.
The build takes several hours:
converge apply --local protobuf-build.hcl
By default, the build directory is:
{{env `HOME`}}/protobuf-build/protobuf-{{param `protobuf_version`}}
and the install directory is
{{env `HOME`}}/protobuf-install/protobuf-{{param `protobuf_version`}}
These can be overridden using command line arguments to converge:
converge apply --local -p install_dir=/usr/local
