Compiling SkyWalking BanyanDB

Follow these steps to compile the project.

Step 1: Generate protobuf and mock code

Run make generate first. This regenerates .pb.go files from .proto definitions and mock files via mockgen.

This step is required whenever:

• Proto files (.proto) have been added or modified
• Go interfaces used by mockgen have changed

If generate fails, check:

• protoc and Go protobuf plugins are installed
• Proto file syntax is valid
• Interface signatures match mock expectations

Step 2: Build all binaries

Run make build to compile all project components: ui, banyand, bydbctl, mcp, fodc/agent, fodc/proxy.

Binaries are output to each component's build/bin/dev/ directory.

Troubleshooting

• Missing fields in .pb.go: Proto files were updated but make generate was not run. Run it first.
• Mock generation failures: An interface changed but the mock wasn't regenerated. make generate fixes this.
• Import errors: Check import aliases match CLAUDE.md conventions (e.g., commonv1, databasev1).

Other useful targets

• make clean — clean all build artifacts
• make clean-build — clean only build binaries
• make lint — run linters
• make test — run tests
