5 <p>Every Native Client SDK bundle comes with a folder of example applications.
6 Each example demonstrates one or two key Native Client programming concepts.
7 After you&#8217;ve <a class="reference internal" href="/native-client/sdk/download.html"><em>downloaded the SDK</em></a>, follow the instructions
8 on this page to build and run the examples.</p>
9 <p>Your version of Chrome must be equal to or greater than the version of your SDK
10 bundle. For example, if you&#8217;re developing with the <code>pepper_35</code> bundle, you
11 must use Google Chrome version 35 or greater. To find out what version of Chrome
12 you&#8217;re using, type <code>about:chrome</code> or <code>about:version</code> in the Chrome address
13 bar.</p>
14 <h2 id="build-the-sdk-examples"><span id="id1"></span>Build the SDK examples</h2>
15 <p>The Makefile scripts for the SDK examples can build multiple versions of the
16 examples using any of the three SDK toolchains (newlib, glibc, and PNaCl) and in
17 both release and debug configurations. Note that some examples, <code>dlopen</code> for
18 example, build only with particular toolchains.</p>
19 <p>Find the toolchains for each example by looking at the <code>VALID_TOOLCHAINS</code>
20 variable in the Makefile for a particular example. The first item listed is the
21 default. It&#8217;s built when you run an example make file without parameters. for
22 example running make in the <code>core</code> directory of pepper_35 builds the example
23 using the <code>newlib</code> toolchain.</p>
24 <pre class="prettyprint">
25 $ cd pepper_35/examples/api/core
26 $ make
27 CXX newlib/Release/core_x86_32.o

41 <p>As you can see, this produces a number of architecture specific nexe files in
42 the <code>pepper_35/examples/api/core/Release</code> directory. Create debug versions by
43 using the <code>CONFIG</code> parameter of the make command.</p>
44 <pre class="prettyprint">
45 $make CONFIG=Debug
46 </pre>
47 <p>This creates similar output, but in <code>pepper_35/examples/api/core/Debug</code>.</p>
48 <p>Select a different toolchain with the <code>TOOLCHAIN</code> parameter. For example:</p>

91 <p>After running <code>make</code>, example directories will contain one or more of the
92 following subdirectories, depending on which Makefile you run:</p>
93 <ul class="small-gap">
94 <li><code>newlib</code> with subdirectories <code>Debug</code> and <code>Release</code>;</li>
95 <li><code>glibc</code> with subdirectories <code>Debug</code> and <code>Release</code>;</li>
96 <li><code>pnacl</code> with subdirectories <code>Debug</code> and <code>Release</code>;</li>
97 </ul>
98 <p>For the newlib and glibc toolchains the Debug and Release subdirectories
99 contain .nexe files for all target architectures. For the PNaCl toolchain
100 they contain a single .pexe file. PNaCl debug also produces pre-translated
101 .nexe files, for ease of debugging. All Debug and Release directories contain
102 a manifest (.nmf) file that references the associated .nexe or .pexe files.
103 For information about Native Client manifest files, see the <a class="reference internal" href="/native-client/overview.html"><em>Technical
104 Overview</em></a>.</p>

108 <h3 id="disable-the-chrome-cache"><span id="disable-chrome-cache"></span>Disable the Chrome cache</h3>
109 <p>Chrome&#8217;s intelligent caching caches resources aggressively. When building a
110 Native Client application you should disable the cache to make sure that Chrome
111 loads the latest version. Intelligent caching only remains inactive while
112 Developer Tools are open. Otherwise, agressive caching continues.</p>
113 <ol class="arabic simple">
114 <li>Open Chrome&#8217;s developer tools by clicking the menu icon <img alt="menu-icon" src="/native-client/images/menu-icon.png" /> and
115 choosing Tools &gt; Developer tools.</li>
116 <li>Click the gear icon <img alt="gear-icon" src="/native-client/images/gear-icon.png" /> in the bottom right corner of the Chrome
117 window.</li>
118 <li>Under the &#8220;General&#8221; settings, check the box next to &#8220;Disable cache&#8221;.</li>
119 </ol>
120 <h3 id="run-the-examples"><span id="id3"></span>Run the examples</h3>
121 <p>To run the SDK examples, use the <code>make run</code> command:</p>
122 <pre class="prettyprint">
123 $ cd pepper_35/examples/api/core
124 $ make run
125 </pre>
126 <p>This launches a local HTTP server that serves the example. It then launches
127 Chrome with the address of this server, usually <code>http://localhost:5103</code>.
128 After you close Chrome, the local HTTP server automatically shuts down.</p>
129 <p>This command tries to find an executable named <code>google-chrome</code> in your
130 <code>PATH</code> environment variable. If it can&#8217;t, you&#8217;ll get an error message like
131 this:</p>
132 <pre class="prettyprint">
133 pepper_35/tools/common.mk:415: No valid Chrome found at CHROME_PATH=
134 pepper_35/tools/common.mk:415: *** Set CHROME_PATH via an environment variable, or command-line.. Stop.

136 <h3 id="add-an-environment-variable-for-chrome"><span id="add-an-env-variable-for-chrome"></span>Add an environment variable for Chrome</h3>
137 <p>Set the CHROME_PATH environment variable to the location of your Chrome
138 executable.</p>

140 <li><p class="first">On Windows:</p>
141 <p>The default install location of Chrome is
142 <code>C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe</code> for Chrome
143 stable and
144 <code>C:\Users\&lt;username&gt;\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome SxS\Application\chrome.exe</code>

158 Chrome Stable and
159 <code>Applications/Google Chrome Canary.app/Contents/MacOS/Google Chrome Canary</code>
160 for Chrome Canary. Note that you have to reference the executable inside the
161 application bundle, not the top-level <code>.app</code> directory:</p>
162 <pre class="prettyprint">

167 <h2 id="run-the-sdk-examples-as-chrome-apps"><span id="run-sdk-examples-as-packaged"></span>Run the SDK examples as Chrome apps</h2>
168 <p>Each example can also be launched as a Chrome apps. A Chrome app is a special
169 zip file (with a .crx extension) hosted in the Chrome Web Store. This file
170 contains all of the application parts: A Chrome Web Store manifest file
171 (<code>manifest.json</code>), an icon, and all of the regular Native Client application
172 files. Refer to <a class="reference external" href="/apps">What are Chrome Apps</a> for more information about
173 creating a Chrome app.</p>
174 <p>Some Pepper features, such as <a class="reference external" href="pepper_stable/cpp/classpp_1_1_t_c_p_socket">TCP</a> or <a class="reference external" href="pepper_stable/cpp/classpp_1_1_u_d_p_socket">UDP</a> socket access, are only allowed
175 in <a class="reference external" href="/apps">Chrome apps</a>. The examples that use these features must be run as
176 <a class="reference external" href="/apps">Chrome apps</a>, by using the following command:</p>
177 <pre class="prettyprint">
178 $ make run_package
179 </pre>
180 <p>You can use <code>TOOLCHAIN</code> and <code>CONFIG</code> parameters as described above to run
181 with a different toolchain or configuration.</p>
182 <h2 id="debugging-the-sdk-examples"><span id="id5"></span>Debugging the SDK examples</h2>
183 <p>The NaCl SDK uses <a class="reference external" href="https://www.gnu.org/software/gdb/">GDB</a> to debug Native
184 Client code. The SDK includes a prebuilt version of GDB that is compatible with
185 NaCl code. To use it, run the <code>make debug</code> command from an example directory:</p>
186 <pre class="prettyprint">
187 $ make debug
188 </pre>
189 <p>This launches Chrome with the <code>--enable-nacl-debug</code> flag set. This flag causes
190 Chrome to pause when a NaCl module is first loaded, waiting for a connection
191 from gdb. The <code>make debug</code> command also simultaneously launches GDB and loads
192 the symbols for that NEXE. To connect GDB to Chrome, in the GDB console, type:</p>
193 <pre class="prettyprint">
194 (gdb) target remote :4014
195 </pre>
196 <p>This tells GDB to connect to a TCP port on <code>localhost:4014</code>, the port that
197 Chrome is listening on. GDB will respond:</p>
198 <pre class="prettyprint">
199 Remote debugging using :4014
200 0x000000000fa00080 in ?? ()
201 </pre>
202 <p>At this point, you can use the standard GDB commands to debug your NaCl module.
203 The most common commands you will use to debug are <code>continue</code>, <code>step</code>,
204 <code>next</code>, <code>break</code> and <code>backtrace</code>. See
205 <a class="reference internal" href="/native-client/devguide/devcycle/debugging.html"><em>Debugging</em></a> for more information about
206 debugging a Native Client application.</p>
