1 Building the GridDB python client

This section shows how to build the GridDB python client on a single machine.

Confirm that OS is Windows 10 64 bit

In order to build, we also need to install Visual Studio 2017

Download and install python 3.6.4 from https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.6.4/python-3.6.4-amd64.exe
Set path for PYTHON_RESOURCE in CmakeList.txt

set(PYTHON_RESOURCE C:/Users/username/AppData/Local/Programs/Python/Python36)

Download zip package from https://sourceforge.net/projects/swig/files/swigwin/swigwin-3.0.12/swigwin-3.0.12.zip/download
Extract the zip package then set path for SWIG_RESOURCE in CmakeList.txt

set(SWIG_RESOURCE E:/swigwin-3.0.12)

Please refer to https://github.com/griddb/c\_client to install GridDB C client.
After installing GridDB C client, set path for C_LIB (path for gridstore_c.lib) and C_HEADER (path for gridstore.h) in CmakeList.txt

set(C_LIB E:/c_client-master/bin/x64/Release)
set(C_HEADER E:/c_client-master/client/c/include)

Before building Griddb python client, please set link for SOURCE_HEADER (link to folder store cpp headers) in CmakeList.txt

set(SOURCE_HEADER E:/SourceCode/src)

Open <PATH_TO_CMAKE>/cmake-3.14.5-win64-x64/bin/cmake-gui.exe
Set link for source code in cmake gui: link to folder store CmakeList.txt
Set link for the binaries in cmake gui: link to folder which generated files are store (sln file, py file)
Run Configure with set Specify the generator for this project is Visual Studio 15 2017, and for Optional toolset to use is x64
Run Generate to get standard build files

Open <PATH_TO_OUTPUT_CMAKE>/griddb_python.sln by Visual Studio 2017
Build griddb_python project to get _griddb_python.pyd library and griddb_python.py interface

Put _griddb_python.pyd, gridstore_c.dll libraries and griddb_python.py interface into folder store sample1.py
