Hi.
I'm new to gRPC. Trying to build gRPC on Windows to evaluate for a product.
I've been writing software for 30 years, but no one has experience with everything.
And so much of BUILDING.md is going right over my head -- I've never used CMAKE in my life. Also, I swear many of the instructions are for Linux and I guess I am supposed to infer what to do on Windows, except I can't.
So if anyone is around for noob-level questions, I would greatly appreciate.
Just to explain my experience so far.
First thing I tried is the vcpkg approach. But this failed so badly I decided it wasn't prudent to go that way.
I got farther by downloading the repo and using CMAKE.
But all the builds are blowing up with fatal errors that stdalign.h cannot be found.
It's building against WinSDK 10.0.17763.0 -- which I know is wrong.
I have 10.0.22000.0 installed.
But I have tried a dozen different things and I cannot get the build to use 10.0.22000.0.
It seems to be building something though.
I'd like to use the product of the build if I could -- maybe it's sufficient.
But the build artifacts I want to use is another thing that's unexplained.
I am supposed to "install" grpc.
But that's also unexplained.
So here I am, fairly severely stuck.
If you ask me what I want to do, it is "build code to use grpc". YOU tell ME how to get there, I don't have a preference.
Thanks in advance.
Kevin
