NAME

AI::PredictionClient::Alien::TensorFlowServingProtos - Builds C++ client library for TensorFlow Serving.

SYNOPSIS

In your Build.PL:

 use Module::Build;
 use AI::PredictionClient::Alien::TensorFlowServingProtos;
 my $builder = Module::Build->new(
   ...
   configure_requires => {
     'AI::PredictionClient::Alien::TensorFlowServingProtos' => '0',
     ...
   },
   extra_compiler_flags => AI::PredictionClient::Alien::TensorFlowServingProtos->cflags,
   extra_linker_flags   => AI::PredictionClient::Alien::TensorFlowServingProtos->libs,
   ...
 );
 
 $build->create_build_script;

In your Makefile.PL:

 use ExtUtils::MakeMaker;
 use Config;
 use AI::PredictionClient::Alien::TensorFlowServingProtos;
 
 WriteMakefile(
   ...
   CONFIGURE_REQUIRES => {
     'AI::PredictionClient::Alien::TensorFlowServingProtos' => '0',
   },
   CCFLAGS => AI::PredictionClient::Alien::TensorFlowServingProtos->cflags . " $Config{ccflags}",
   LIBS    => [ AI::PredictionClient::Alien::TensorFlowServingProtos->libs ],
   ...
 );

DESCRIPTION

This distribution builds a C++ library for use by other Perl XS modules to communicate with Google TensorFlow Serving model servers. It is primarily intended to be used with the cpan AI::PredictionClient module.

This module builds a library 'tensorflow_serving_protos_so' that provides the protos for the Predict, Classify, Regress and MultiInference prediction services.

The built library is installed in a private share location within this module for use by other modules.

DEPENDENCIES

This module is dependent on gRPC. This module will use the cpan module Alien::Google::GRPC to either use an existing gRPC installed on your system or if not found, the Alien::Google::GRPC module will download and build a private copy.

Additional, the following dependencies need to be installed in order for this module to build.

 $ [sudo] apt-get install build-essential make g++

See the Alien::Google::GRPC for potential additional build dependencies.

At this time only Linux builds are supported.

CPAN Testers Note

It is normal for this module to fail the CPAN Testers' tests. The build support tools needed by this module and especially the Alien::Google::GRPC module are not normally installed on the CPAN Testers' machines.
