This document is intended for:
- Package maintainers that need to understand how to compile
google-cloud-cpp
from source to create their packaging scripts. - Developers who may not be able to use a package manager and want to compile
the
google-cloud-cpp
libraries from source, including their dependencies. - Developers who might like to install the
google-cloud-cpp
libraries in/usr/local
or a similar directory.
This document does not cover all cases for building google-cloud-cpp
. The
following are out of scope:
- Developers who prefer using a package manager such as vcpkg, or Conda, should follow the instructions for their package manager.
- Developers wanting to use the libraries as part of a larger CMake or Bazel project should consult the quickstart guides for the library or libraries they want to use.
- Developers wanting to compile the library just to run examples or tests should consult the building and installing section of the top-level README file.
- Contributors and developers to
google-cloud-cpp
should consult the guide to set up a development workstation.
There are two primary ways of obtaining google-cloud-cpp
's source code. You
can use git:
git clone https://github.com/googleapis/google-cloud-cpp.git $HOME/google-cloud-cpp
Or obtain the tarball release (see https://github.com/googleapis/google-cloud-cpp/releases for the latest release):
VERSION="vX.Y.Z"
mkdir -p $HOME/google-cloud-cpp
wget -q https://github.com/googleapis/google-cloud-cpp/archive/${VERSION}.tar.gz
tar -xf ${VERSION}.tar.gz -C $HOME/google-cloud-cpp --strip=1
If all the dependencies of google-cloud-cpp
are installed and provide
CMake support files, then compiling and installing the libraries requires two
commands:
cmake -S . -B cmake-out -DBUILD_TESTING=OFF -DGOOGLE_CLOUD_CPP_ENABLE_EXAMPLES=OFF
cmake --build cmake-out --target install
Unfortunately getting your system to this state may require multiple steps, the
following sections describe how to install google-cloud-cpp
on several
platforms.
As is often the case, the CMake build can be configured using a number of options and command-line flags. A full treatment of these options is outside the scope of this document, but here are a few highlights:
- Consider using
-GNinja
to switch the generator frommake
(or msbuild on Windows) toninja
. In our experienceninja
takes better advantage of multicore machines. Be aware thatninja
is often not installed in development workstations, but it is available through most package managers. - If you use the default generator, consider appending
-- -j ${NCPU}
to the build command, whereNCPU
is an environment variable set to the number of processors on your system. You can obtain this information using thenproc
command on Linux, orsysctl -n hw.physicalcpu
on macOS. - By default, CMake compiles the
google-cloud-cpp
as static libraries. The standard-DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON
option can be used to switch this to shared libraries. Having said this, on Windows there are known issues with DLLs and generated protos. - With the default configuration, our CMake scripts will only compile a small
subset of the libraries. As the number of libraries grows, we did not want to
impose longer build times on existing customers.
- You can use the
-DGOOGLE_CLOUD_CPP_ENABLE=...
option to configure the set of libraries compiled and installed by CMake. - For example, passing
-DGOOGLE_CLOUD_CPP_ENABLE=storage
will only compile thestorage
library. The target for this library isgoogle-cloud-cpp::storage
. - The
google/cloud/${library}/README.md
files describe what services are supported by each library. - You can provide more than one library. For example,
-DGOOGLE_CLOUD_CPP_ENABLE=pubsub,iam,speech
will compile thepubsub
,iam
, andspeech
libraries. - The default is to compile
bigtable
,bigquery
,iam
,logging
,pubsub
,spanner
, andstorage
. - You can use
-DGOOGLE_CLOUD_CPP_ENABLE=__ga_libraries__
to compile all the GA libraries. - The
storage
library does not depend ongRPC
orProtobuf
. Customers only using this library can remove the build steps to compile these dependencies.
- You can use the
For more information about google-cloud-cpp
configuration options, see the
Compile time configuration guide.
Once installed, follow any of the quickstart guides to
use google-cloud-cpp
in your CMake or Make-based project. If you are planning
to use Bazel for your own project, there is no need to install
google-cloud-cpp
, we provide BUILD.bazel
files for this purpose. The
quickstart guides also cover this use-case.
google-cloud-cpp
directly depends on the following libraries:
Library | Minimum version | Description |
---|---|---|
Abseil | 20200923, Patch 3 | Abseil C++ common library 1 |
gRPC | 1.35.x | An RPC library and framework 2 |
libcurl | 7.47.0 | HTTP client library 3 |
crc32c | 1.0.6 | Hardware-accelerated CRC32C implementation 4 |
OpenSSL | 1.0.2 | Crypto functions for 3 |
nlohmann/json | 3.4.0 | JSON for Modern C++ 3 |
protobuf | 3.15.8 | Protobuf is needed for any library based on gRPC 5 6 |
google-cloud-cpp
also has an optional dependency on the following
libraries:
Library | Minimum version | Description |
---|---|---|
OpenTelemetry | 1.9.1 | An observability framework7 |
Note that these libraries may also depend on other libraries. The following instructions include steps to install these indirect dependencies too.
When possible, the instructions below prefer to use pre-packaged versions of
these libraries and their dependencies. In some cases the packages do not exist,
or the packaged versions are too old to support google-cloud-cpp
. If this is
the case, the instructions describe how you can manually download and install
these dependencies.
Alpine (Stable)
Install the minimal development tools, libcurl, and OpenSSL:
apk update && \
apk add bash ca-certificates cmake curl git \
gcc g++ make tar unzip zip zlib-dev
Alpine's version of pkg-config
(https://github.com/pkgconf/pkgconf) is slow
when handling .pc
files with lots of Requires:
deps, which happens with
Abseil, so we use the normal pkg-config
binary, which seems to not suffer from
this bottleneck. For more details see
pkgconf/pkgconf#229 and
#7052
mkdir -p $HOME/Downloads/pkgconf && cd $HOME/Downloads/pkgconf
curl -fsSL https://distfiles.ariadne.space/pkgconf/pkgconf-2.2.0.tar.gz | \
tar -xzf - --strip-components=1 && \
./configure --prefix=/usr && \
make -j ${NCPU:-4} && \
sudo make install && \
cd /var/tmp && rm -fr build
The following steps will install libraries and tools in /usr/local
. By
default, pkgconf does not search in these directories. We need to explicitly set
the search path.
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/pkgconfig
The versions of Abseil, Protobuf, gRPC, OpenSSL, and nlohmann-json included with
Alpine >= 3.19 meet google-cloud-cpp
's requirements. We can simply install the
development packages
apk update && \
apk add abseil-cpp-dev crc32c-dev c-ares-dev curl-dev grpc-dev \
protobuf-dev nlohmann-json openssl-dev re2-dev
The project has an optional dependency on the OpenTelemetry library. We recommend installing this library because:
- the dependency will become required in the google-cloud-cpp v3.x series.
- it is needed to produce distributed traces of the library.

Older versions of Fedora hard-code RE2 to use C++11. It was fixed starting with
Fedora:38. If you using Fedora >= 38 or you are not planning to use

you can ignore this step. Alternatively, you can install RE2 and
gRPC from source.

NOTE: The default compiler on openSUSE (GCC 7.5.0) crashes while compiling
some of the files generated by Protobuf. Minor variations in the Protobuf
version or the libraries changes where the compiler crashes. We recommend you
use GCC 8 or higher to compile google-cloud-cpp

The following steps will install libraries and tools in /usr/local
. By
default, Rocky Linux 9 does not search for shared libraries in these
directories, there are multiple ways to solve this problem, the following steps
are one solution:
(echo "/usr/local/lib" ; echo "/usr/local/lib64") | \
sudo tee /etc/ld.so.conf.d/usrlocal.conf
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/local/lib64/pkgconfig:/usr/lib64/pkgconfig
export PATH=/usr/local/bin:${PATH}
Rocky Linux 9 includes a package for Abseil, unfortunately, this package is
incomplete, as it lacks the CMake support files for it. We need to compile
Abseiil from source. Enabling ABSL_PROPAGATE_CXX_STD
propagates the version of
C++ used to compile Abseil to anything that depends on Abseil.

macOS
First install Xcode to get all the needed development tools. These instructions also use Homebrew to install the needed third-party dependencies.
If you don't already have Xcode installed:
xcode-select --install
Follow the instructions at https://brew.sh to install Homebrew. Then install the needed dependencies:
# Some additional build tools
brew install cmake ninja
# Installs google-cloud-cpp's needed deps
brew install abseil protobuf grpc nlohmann-json crc32c openssl@1.1
Now configure, build, and install the google-cloud-cpp
libraries that you
need. In this example, we install the storage and
spanner libraries. Please see the
