How to install and use grpc c++ in Visual studio 2017

[akshay.cho...@gmail.com]

Could you please let me know step by step how to compile and use grpc c++ on windows 10 with visual studio 2017.

FYI - I have already tried using cmake but it doesn't seems to work, lots of linker issues

cmake is the recommended way to build with visual studio 2017.

We do have a continuous test for building with VS2017 on windows and it is passing (see https://source.cloud.google.com/results/invocations/13e7250c-2a03-408b-8454-12ae23d96e83/targets), so you might have missed something.

Instructions are here: https://github.com/grpc/grpc/blob/master/BUILDING.md#cmake-windows-using-visual-studio-2015-or-2017-can-only-build-with-openssl_no_asm

Btw, just saying "doesn't seem to work" is not helpful without including the exact commands you ran and the error output you got.
