Yes. Lots unfortunately. The entire build system is required to make
OmeroCpp work because of the code generation that goes on (in both the
components/model and components/blitz builds).

If you've followed what's on both:

  https://trac.openmicroscopy.org.uk/omero/wiki/BlitzBuild
  https://trac.openmicroscopy.org.uk/omero/wiki/OmeroContributing

then you can get started via the top level ant build:

  cd OMERO_HOME
  ant build-cpp

This will produce the artifacts listed under:

   https://trac.openmicroscopy.org.uk/omero/wiki/OmeroCpp

I'll review those pages, add some more info, and make sure nothing's
changed for the release next week. It's a good time to be doing that
anyway. Glad to know you're interested.
