Distribution

Jars for the executable, source, and javadoc can be found in

build/libs

Android Build

In order to build the android binaries you need to run the android:dist target

$ ant android:dist

As a prerequisite, you need Android SDK to be installed and the path needs to be configured inside build-local.properties file. You need at least Android target 19 (it comes with Java 7 support) and Android build tools version at least 20.0.0. E.g.

android.sdk.dir=/opt/android-sdk-linux
android.target=android-19
android.build.tools.version=20.0.0

Android jars for the codec, source, and javadoc can be found in

target/dist

C++ Build using CMake

NOTE: Linux, Mac OS, and Windows only for the moment. See FAQ. Windows builds have been tested with Visual Studio Express 12.

First build using gradle to generate the SBE jar.

$ ./gradlew

Then build and test with CMake in the build subdirectory created by the gradle build.

$ cd build
$ cmake ..
$ cmake --build .
$ ctest

C# Build

See README.md in vs2013 directory
