C++ Client implementation for Cloud Pub/Sub service (https://developers.google.com/apis-explorer/#p/pubsub/v1beta1/). "Google Cloud Pub/Sub" API needs to be enabled at https://console.developers.google.com/project to open the access for a client. Select the project name, select the "APIs" under "APIs & auth", and turn on "Google Cloud Pub/Sub" API. To run the client from Google Compute Engine (GCE), the GCE instance needs to be created with scope "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform" as below: gcloud compute instances create instance-name --image debian-7 --scopes https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform Google TLS cert is required to run the client, which can be downloaded from Chrome browser. To run the client from GCE: make pubsub_client GRPC_DEFAULT_SSL_ROOTS_FILE_PATH="Google TLS cert" bins/opt/pubsub_client --project_id="your project id" A service account credential is required to run the client from other environments, which can be generated as a JSON key file from https://console.developers.google.com/project/. To run the client with a service account credential: GRPC_DEFAULT_SSL_ROOTS_FILE_PATH="Google TLS cert" bins/opt/pubsub_client --project_id="your project id" --service_account_key_file="absolute path to the JSON key file"
