Building SharpKeeper (ZooKeeper Client for .NET)

Question

I've been looking for .NET version of the ZooKeeper client and I found one. https://github.com/ewhauser/zookeeper/tree/trunk/src/dotnet/SharpKeeper/

I was so thrilled and downloaded the source files to build a client assembly file. but when I opened up the solution file and tried to build them all, I found some files were missing which should have been under "Generated" namespace/folder.

of course, there's no folder named "Generated" on the github repository. I don't know what's going on.

the name of the folder, which is "Generated", looks like that I should add some build event to the solution. but nowhere I could see any description saying what kind of stuff I need to have or do.

anybody ever built the same thing? I need your hands. thanks.

Answer 1

ZooKeeper's jute code generator supports csharp generation. You need to run this to generate the missing files:

org.apache.jute.compiler.generated.Rcc

See Zk's toplevel build.xml for details on how to do this.

Answer 2

Just build the java project using ant, and it will create the missing C# files in the generated folder. here are step by step. 1) download ant, and extract it into a folder. 2) open command line and navigate to the folder in kafka where build.xml is. 3) run the following command [path to ant]\ant.bat

That's it now the C# files will be there.
