This is a incomplete experimentation of creating a C++ binding of Kubernetes go client library.

Environment

Go C++ 14 protobuf

clone the code

git clone https://github.com/jianhuiz/k8s-client-cpp

Note: All blocks below must be executed from the root of the repository.

get the dependencies

cd ./go
go mod vendor

generate c++ protobuf code

protoc -I $PWD/go/vendor --cpp_out $PWD/cpp/ \
    $PWD/go/vendor/k8s.io/api/core/v1/generated.proto \
    $PWD/go/vendor/k8s.io/apimachinery/pkg/api/resource/generated.proto \

    $PWD/go/vendor/k8s.io/apimachinery/pkg/util/intstr/generated.proto

build go library

cd ./go
go build -buildmode=c-archive -o go.a
