A C/C++ client driver for Apache Cassandra. This driver works exclusively with the Cassandra Query Language version 3 (CQL3) and Cassandra's Native Protocol (version 2).

The driver is known to work on OS X 10.9, Windows 7, and Ubuntu 14.04. The driver itself currently has two dependencies: libuv 0.10 and OpenSSL. To build the driver you will need CMake. To test the driver you will also need to install boost 1.41+, libssh2 and ccm.
The driver has been built and tested using the Clang compiler provided by XCode 5.1. The dependencies were obtained using Homebrew.
To obtain dependencies:
brew install libuv cmake
Note: We currently use the OpenSSL library included with XCode.
To obtain test dependencies (This is not required):
brew install boost libssh2
To build:
git clone https://github.com/datastax/cpp-driver.git
cd cpp-driver
cmake .
make
The driver has been built and tested using Microsoft Visual Studio Express 2013 for Windows Desktop on Windows 7 SP1. The dependencies need to be manually built or obtained.
To obtain dependencies:
- Download and install CMake for Windows. Make sure to select the option "Add CMake to the system PATH for all users" or "Add CMake to the system PATH for current user".
- Download and build the latest release of libuv 0.10 from https://github.com/joyent/libuv/releases.
- Follow the instructions here.
- Open up the generated Visual Studio solution "uv.sln".
- If you want a 64-bit build you will need to create a "x64" solution platform in the "Configuration Manager".
- Open "Properties" on the "libuv" project. Set "Multi-threaded DLL (/MD)" for the "Configuration Properties -> C/C++ -> Code Generation -> Runtime Library" option.
- Build the "libuv" project
- Copy the files in "libuv/include" to "cpp-driver/lib/libuv/include" and "libuv/Release/lib" to "cpp-driver/lib/libuv/lib".
- Download and install either the 32-bit or 64-bit version of OpenSSL from http://slproweb.com/products/Win32OpenSSL.html. You may also need to install the "Visual C++ 2008 Redistributables".
To build 32-bit (using "VS2013 x86 Native Tools Command Prompt"):
cd <path to driver>/cpp-driver
cmake -G "Visual Studio 12"
msbuild cassandra.vcxproj /p:Configuration=Release /t:Clean,Build
To build 64-bit (using "VS2013 x64 Cross Tools Command Prompt"):
cd <path to driver>/cpp-driver
cmake -G "Visual Studio 12 Win64"
msbuild cassandra.vcxproj /p:Configuration=Release /t:Clean,Build
The driver was built and tested using both GCC and Clang on Ubuntu 14.04.
To obtain dependencies (GCC):
sudo apt-get install g++ make cmake libuv-dev libssl-dev
To obtain dependencies (Clang):
sudo apt-get install clang make cmake libuv-dev libssl-dev
To obtain test dependencies (This is not required):
sudo apt-get install libboost-chrono-dev libboost-date-time-dev libboost-log-dev libboost-program-options-dev libboost-system-dev libboost-thread-dev libboost-test-dev libssh2-1-dev
To build:
git clone https://github.com/datastax/cpp-driver.git
cd cpp-driver
cmake .
make
