vcpkg/cmake C++ gRPC example

This simple example demonstrates how to get started with gRPC using vcpkg to install gRPC and cmake to build the example.

Build Instructions

1. Install vcpkg

   # I installed vcpkg in /opt, but you can do it anywhere.
   cd /opt
   git clone https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg.git
   cd vcpkg
   ./bootstrap-vcpkg.sh
   

2. Install gRPC and dependencies via vcpkg

   cd /opt/vcpkg
   ./vcpkg install grpc
   

3. Download and build this example project

   cd ~
   git clone https://github.com/yonik/grpc_example.git
   cd ~/grpc_example
   mkdir build
   cd build
   cmake .. -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=/opt/vcpkg/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake
   make
   

4. Run the example

   # should still be in the "build" directory 
   ./grpc_example
   

Notes

If you get AddressSanitizer errors, that may be expected. I created this project to replicate the ASAN bugs I was seeing. You can disable ASAN by commenting out the ASAN related lines in CMakeLists.txt and then re-running cmake and make. Update: gRPC and dependencies must currently also be compiled with ASAN for ASAN to work.

This example uses new "editions" of protobuf, and currently needs this: microsoft/vcpkg#39800 which is not yet merged into vcpkg.
