AWS SDK for C++ Documentation Examples

This is a collection of examples for the AWS SDK for C++ public documentation.

Prerequisites

To build and run these examples, you'll need:

• CMake (version 3.2+)
• AWS SDK for C++ (downloaded, extracted, built and installed on your machine)
• AWS credentials, either configured in a local AWS credentials file or by setting the AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY environment variables

Building the examples

To build the examples, create a build directory:

mkdir s3_build

Go into the directory and run cmake, providing it with the path to where you install the SDK if the path is not CMake awareness, and the path to the examples directory that you want to build. For example:

cd s3_build
cmake -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/path/to/aws_sdk_installed/ ../example_code/s3

Finally, run make in the build directory:

make

Running the examples

The examples are built right into the build directory, so you can run them by name. On Unix, Linux and OS X, make sure you specify the full path to the file (since you unlikely added the current directory to your PATH):

./list_buckets

On Windows, you would run the same example as:

list_buckets.exe
