C++ client 3rd Party Libraries

[Anesti Andrioti]

Hello,

I am doing a research on Jaeger C++ client. 

I was looking around to check for the API's third parties.

What I found so far is that Jaeger depends on 

• OpenTracing
  
• yaml-cpp
  
• hunter
  
• boost
  
• thrift
  
• nlohmann_json
  

I just want to make sure if I am missing any dependency. What about OpenSSL and Threads, does Jaeger depends on them also ?

Thank you for your time,

Anesti

Hi Anesti,

OpenSSL and a threading library are required for Thrift, that is why they are listed in the jaegertracingConfig.cmake. If you manage to install all of the packages listed in CMakeLists.txt without Hunter, then everything should work as expected. You can find all of the direct dependencies by searching for hunter_add_package in CMakeLists.txt.

BTW Hunter is not a C++ library. It is a CMake package manager. And yaml-cpp is optional (only used to parse config files).

Thank you very much!
