# Verify the build works

Be mindful of the pre-requisites required for the C++ version of MiNiFi, 
enumerated in the README and the switching to the CMake build system
These can vary from system to system and distribution, an example of the 
package listing for a recent Ubuntu release is:
  cmake libboost-dev libxml2-dev libleveldb-dev gcc g++ uuid-dev

Once the required environment is established, a build can be performed via:

cd nifi-minifi-cpp-0.1.0-source
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make package

# Verify the contents contain a good README, NOTICE, and LICENSE.

# Verify the git commit ID is correct

# Verify the RC was branched off the correct git commit ID

# Look at the resulting convenience assembly (nifi-minifi-cpp-0.1.0-bin.tar.gz) 
found in your build directory

# Make sure the README, NOTICE, and LICENSE are present and correct

# Run the resulting convenience binary and make sure it works as expected

Be mindful of caveats for this initial release, listed in the README.

For some additional assistance, a package with configuration files for both a 
MiNiFI instance and a NiFi instance available at 
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MINIFI/Releasing+MiNiFi#ReleasingMiNiFi-SampleNiFiandMiNiFiConfigurationtotransmitdatafromMiNiFitoNiFiviaSitetoSite
The provided sample configuration bundle assumes that NiFi is configured to 
listen on port 8081 and has 10001 configured for Site to Site's 
nifi.remote.input.socket.port.

# Send a response to the vote thread indicating a +1, 0, -1 based on your 
findings.

Thank you for your time and effort to validate the release!
