gRPC Pre-built Binaries

Pre-built static gRPC C++ libraries for Linux, macOS & Windows. Drop them into your CI pipeline and skip the 30+ minute build-from-source step.

Platforms

Archive	Platform	Arch	Compiler
grpc-{ver}-linux-x86_64.tar.gz	Linux	x86_64	GCC
grpc-{ver}-linux-aarch64.tar.gz	Linux	aarch64	GCC
grpc-{ver}-macos-universal.tar.gz	macOS	arm64 + x86_64	Apple Clang
grpc-{ver}-windows-x86_64.zip	Windows	x86_64	MSVC 2022 (v193)

All builds use C++20, static linking, Release mode.

Usage

Trigger a build

Go to Actions → Build gRPC → Run workflow, enter the desired gRPC version (e.g. 1.78.1).

The workflow builds all 4 platforms in parallel and creates a GitHub release with the archives.

Build details

• Static libraries only (BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF)
• Only the C++ plugin is built (no C#, Node, PHP, Python, Ruby plugins)
• macOS: universal binaries via lipo, deployment target 11.0
• Windows: static MSVC runtime (/MT) via CMAKE_MSVC_RUNTIME_LIBRARY=MultiThreaded
