Here you could find nice examples for gobgpd API with C++ client. I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 LTS x86_64. For gRPC we need so much dependencies, please make coffee and be ready! Install ProtoBuffers: ```bash apt-get update apt-get install -y gcc make autoconf automake git libtool g++ curl cd /usr/src wget https://github.com/google/protobuf/archive/v3.0.0-alpha-4.tar.gz tar -xf v3.0.0-alpha-4.tar.gz cd protobuf-3.0.0-alpha-4/ ./autogen.sh ./configure --prefix=/opt/protobuf_3.0.0_alpha4 make -j 4 make install ``` Install gRPC: ```bash apt-get update apt-get install -y gcc make autoconf automake git libtool g++ python-all-dev python-virtualenv cd /usr/src/ git clone https://github.com/grpc/grpc.git cd grpc git submodule update --init make -j 4 make install prefix=/opt/grpc ``` Add libs to the system path: ```bash echo "/opt/grpc/lib" > /etc/ld.so.conf.d/grpc.conf echo "/opt/protobuf_3.0.0_alpha4/lib" > /etc/ld.so.conf.d/protobuf.conf ldconfig ``` Clone this repository and build API example: ```bash export PATH="$PATH:/opt//grpc/bin:/opt/protobuf_3.0.0_alpha4/bin/" cd /usr/src git clone https://github.com/osrg/gobgp.git cd gobgp/api/cpp cp ../gobgp.proto gobgp_api_client.proto make ``` Let's run it: ```bash ./gobgp_api_client We received: Peer AS: 65001 Peer router id: 213.133.111.200 Peer flops: 0 BGP state: BGP_FSM_ESTABLISHED ```
