Prerequisite

1. You need to install Visual Studio Community first, for example VS2019.
2. vcpkg
3. CMake

Building

The following steps are done in Developer Powershell for VS 2019(StartMenu - Visual Studio 2019 - Developer Powershell for VS 2019)

1. Install RocksDB/leveldb/lmdb

   cd <vcpkg_root>
   .\vcpkg.exe install rocksdb[*]:x64-windows-static
   .\vcpkg.exe install leveldb[snappy]:x64-windows-static
   .\vcpkg.exe install lmdb:x64-windows-static

   This will automatically install dependent compression libraries(lz4, snappy, zstd, zlib), and build rocksdb with these libraries enabled.

   <vcpkg_root> is the path where you've installed the vcpkg, C:/src/vcpkg for example.

2. Install WiredTiger

   see wiredtiger/README.md

3. Clone YCSB-cpp

   cd <somewhere>
   git clone https://github.com/ls4154/YCSB-cpp.git
   cd YCSB-cpp
   git submodule update --init

4. Build YCSB-cpp

   mkdir build
   cd build
   cmake -DBIND_ROCKSDB=1 -DBIND_WIREDTIGER=1 -DWITH_SNAPPY=1 -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=<vcpkg_root>/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake -DVCPKG_TARGET_TRIPLET=x64-windows-static ..
   msbuild ycsb-cpp.sln /p:Configuration=Release

   -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=<vcpkg_root>/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake enables CMake find_packege() to find libraries installed by vcpkg. You do not need to use backslash '' in your path here.

   -DBIND_ROCKSDB=1 binds rocksdb.

   -DBIND_LEVELDB=1 binds leveldb.

   -DBIND_LMDB=1 binds lmdb.

   -DBIND_WIREDTIGER=1 binds wiredtiger.

   -DWITH_SNAPPY=1 tells CMake to link snappy with YCSB, same for WITH_LZ4, WITH_ZLIB and WITH_ZSTD.

   The executable ycsb.exe can be found in build/Release.
