基于Yocto交叉编译gRPC的步骤简介

版本适配：gRPC=v1.21.0, Protobuf=v3.5.0

交叉编译之前，请先编译安装本地版本的gRPC和Protobuf，注意版本适配。

第一步：初始化Yocto的交叉编译环境

source Yocto 的环境变量 environment-setup-cortexa9hf-vfp-neon-poky-linux-gnueabi

第二步：编译安装Protobuf

cd third_party/protobuf/
git submodule update --init --recursive #修改本地源方法如前文，更新第三方源码
./autogen.sh
./configure --prefix=/usr --host=arm-poky-linux-gnueabi --with-protoc=/usr/local/bin/protoc
make -j2
make DESTDIR=~/rootfs install

注意：其中DESTDIR指定交叉编译环境的安装目录，而不是本地系统环境。

第三步：配置gRPC的环境变量

注意：先修改Makefile文件，后面还需要再修改一次
prefix ?= /usr

export GRPC_CROSS_COMPILE=true
export LDXX=$CXX
export LD=$CXX
export PROTOBUF_CONFIG_OPTS="--host=arm-poky-linux-gnueabi --with-protoc=/usr/local/bin/protoc"
export GRPC_CROSS_LDOPTS=$LDFLAGS
export GRPC_CROSS_AROPTS=rc
export USE_BUILT_PROTOC=true

第四步：执行make命令并解决一些问题

问题1：src/compiler/ruby_generator.cc和src/cpp/server/channelz/channelz_service.cc依赖了Protobuf 3.6.0的头文件

解决1：替换源文件为旧版本，内容较多放在文章最后面。

问题2：

[GRPC]    Generating gRPC's protobuf service CC file from src/proto/grpc/channelz/channelz.proto
/home/help/RPC/grpc/bins/opt/grpc_cpp_plugin: program not found or is not executable
--grpc_out: protoc-gen-grpc: Plugin failed with status code 1.
Makefile:2590: recipe for target '/home/help/RPC/grpc/gens/src/proto/grpc/channelz/channelz.grpc.pb.cc' failed
make: *** [/home/help/RPC/grpc/gens/src/proto/grpc/channelz/channelz.grpc.pb.cc] Error 1

解决2：修改Makefile文件，找到变量PROTOC_PLUGINS_DIR ，覆盖所有变量赋值：PROTOC_PLUGINS_DIR = /usr/local/bin

问题3：如何交叉编译的安装？

解决3：修改Makefile文件，设置变量为： prefix ?= ~/rootfs

第五步：执行make install安装

以上，已经安装完成。
