Elastos Hive Native SDK provides a set of APIs to enable SDK users to perform file operations on various storage backends(e.g., OneDrive, IPFS, DropBox, WebDAV, etc., only OneDrive and IPFS are implemented currently) in a unified manner.
- Elastos Hive Native SDK
CMake is used to build, test and package the Elastos Hive project in an operating system as well as compiler-independent manner.
Certain knowledge of CMake is required.
The compilation of source works on macOS, Linux (Ubuntu, Debian etc.) and Windows.
To generate Makefiles by using configure or cmake and manage dependencies of the Hive project, certain packages must be installed on the host before compilation.
Run the following commands to install the prerequisite utilities:
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install -f build-essential autoconf automake autopoint libtool flex bison libncurses5-dev cmake
Download this repository using Git:
$ git clone https://github.com/elastos/Elastos.NET.Hive.Native.SDK
To compile the project from source code for the target to run on Ubuntu / Debian / Linux, carry out the following steps:
Open a new terminal window.
Navigate to the previously downloaded folder that contains the source code of the Hive project.
$ cd YOUR-PATH/Elastos.NET.Hive.Native.SDK
Enter the 'build' folder.
$ cd build
Create a new folder with the target platform name, then change directory.
$ mkdir linux
$ cd linux
Generate the Makefile in the current directory:
Note: Please see custom options below.
$ cmake ../..
Optional (Generate the Makefile): To be able to build a distribution with a specific build type Debug/Release, as well as with customized install location of distributions, run the following commands:
$ cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=YOUR-INSTALL-PATH ../..
Build the program:
Note: If "make" fails due to missing permissions, use "sudo make" instead.
$ make
Install the program:
Note: If "make install" fails due to missing permissions, use "sudo make install" instead.
$ make install
Create distribution package:
Note: If "make dist" fails due to missing permissions, use "sudo make dist" instead.
$ make dist
HiveCmd is a fully functional, lightweight shell program that processes commands and returns the output to the terminal. Each Hive API has its corresponding command. This program is intended to familiarize users with the use of Hive APIs.
To run HiveCmd, first extract the distribution package created previously and enter the extracted folder. Then, change directory to the 'bin' folder.
$ cd YOUR-DISTRIBUTION-PACKAGE-PATH/bin
Run HiveCmd:
$ ./hivecmd --config=YOUR-DISTRIBUTION-PACKAGE-PATH/etc/hive/hivecmd.conf
Available commands in the shell can be listed by using the command help. Specific command usage descriptions can be displayed by using help [Command] where [Command] must be replaced with the specific command name.
packages must be installed on the host before compilation.
The following packages related to configure and cmake must be installed on the host before compilation either by installation through the package manager homebrew or by building from source:
Note: Homebrew can be downloaded from https://brew.sh/ .
Install packages with Homebrew:
$ brew install autoconf automake libtool shtool pkg-config gettext cmake
Please note that homebrew has an issue with linking gettext. If you have an issue with the execution of autopoint, fix it by running:
$ brew link --force gettext

$ git clone https://github.com/elastos/Elastos.NET.Hive.Native.SDK
To compile the project from source code for the target to run on MacOS, carry out the following steps:
Open a new terminal window.
Navigate to the previously downloaded folder that contains the source code of the Carrier project.
$ cd YOUR-PATH/Elastos.NET.Hive.Native.SDK
Enter the 'build' folder.
$ cd build
Create a new folder with the target platform name, then change directory.
$ mkdir macos
$ cd macos
Generate the Makefile in the current directory:
Note: Please see custom options below.
$ cmake ../..
Optional (Generate the Makefile): To be able to build a distribution with a specific build type Debug/Release, as well as with customized install location of distributions, run the following commands:
$ cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=YOUR-INSTALL-PATH ../..
Build the program:
Note: If "make" fails due to missing permissions, use "sudo make" instead.
$ make
Install the program:
Note: If "make install" fails due to missing permissions, use "sudo make install" instead.
$ make install

$ make dist

With CMake, Elastos Hive can be cross-compiled to run only on Windows as target platform, while compilation is carried out on a Windows host. Both 32-bit and 64-bit target versions are supported.
Prerequisites:
- Visual Studio IDE is required. The Community version can be downloaded at https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/ for free.
- Download and install "Visual Studio Command Prompt (devCmd)" from https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ShemeerNS.VisualStudioCommandPromptdevCmd .
- Install 'Desktop development with C++' Workload
Start the program 'Visual Studio Installer'.
Alternative:
Start Visual Studio IDE.
In the menu, go to "Tools >> Get Tools and Features", it will open the Visual Studio Installer.
Make sure 'Desktop development with C++' Workload is installed.
On the right side, make sure in the 'Installation details' all of the following are installed:
- "Windows 8.1 SDK and UCRT SDK" <- might have to be selected additionally
- "Windows 10 SDK (10.0.17134.0)" <- might have to be selected additionally
- "VC++ 2017 version 15.9 ... tools"
- "C++ Profiling tools"
- "Visual C++ tools for CMake"
- "Visual C++ ATL for x86 and x64"
Additional tools are optional, some additional ones are installed by default with the Workload.
After modifications, restarting of Visual Studio might be required.
To compile the project from source code for the target to run on Windows, carry out the following steps:
In Visual Studio, open Visual Studio Command Prompt from the menu "Tools >> Visual Studio Command Prompt". It will open a new terminal window.
Note: To build for a 32-bit target , select x86 Native Tools Command Console
to run building commands, otherwise, select x64 Native Tools Command Console
for a 64-bit target.
Navigate to the previously downloaded folder that contains the source code of the Hive project.
$ cd YOUR-PATH/Elastos.NET.Hive.Native.SDK
Enter the 'build' folder.
$ cd build
Create a new folder with the target platform name, then change directory.
$ mkdir win
$ cd win
Generate the Makefile in the current directory:
$ cmake -G "NMake Makefiles" -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=outputs ..\..
Build the program:
$ nmake
Install the program:
$ nmake install
Create distribution package:
$ nmake dist
HiveCmd is a fully functional, lightweight shell program that processes commands and returns the output to the terminal. Each Hive API has its corresponding command. This program is intended to familiarize users with the use of Hive APIs.
To run HiveCmd, first extract the distribution package created previously and enter the extracted folder. Then, change directory to the 'bin' folder.
$ cd YOUR-DISTRIBUTION-PACKAGE-PATH\bin
Run HiveCmd:
Make sure to replace 'YOUR-DISTRIBUTION-PACKAGE-PATH'.
$ hivecmd.exe --config=YOUR-DISTRIBUTION-PACKAGE-PATH\etc\hive\hivecmd.conf
Available commands in the shell can be listed by using the command help. Specific command usage descriptions can be displayed by using help [Command] where [Command] must be replaced with the specific command name.
Currently, the API documentation can only be built on Linux hosts. MacOS has a bug issue with python, which would cause build process failure.
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install doxygen python-sphinx graphviz
$ curl -L -o /tmp/get-pip.py https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py
$ sudo python /tmp/get-pip.py
$ sudo pip install breathe
Change to the directory where the build for any target has been previously executed. For example, if the target was Linux, the folder structure would be similar to:
cd /YOUR-PATH/Elastos.NET.Hive.Native.SDK/build/linux
Run the following command:
Note: If "make" fails due to missing permissions, use "sudo make" instead.
$ cmake -DENABLE_DOCS=ON ../..
$ make
The generated API documentation will be created in the new /docs directory on the same directory level.
Change to the docs folder:
cd docs/html
Open the index.html file in a browser from the terminal:
xdg-open index.html
