Mono + C# + (CMAKE)

Hello,

EDIT:

While I am still interested in the question below we worked around this problem. But now I'd like to use our C# application under Linux as well.

Under Windows, you provide nddsdotnet451.dll. I am missing the equivalent library for Linux / Mono. Can I get this one somewhere? Do I need to compile it myself?

END EDIT.

I am having a hard time to compile a larger IDL tree to a shared library with Visual Studio 2013/15. With the provided helper tool for rtiddsgen I can create a solution that compiles flawlessly using:

C:\Program Files\rti_connext_dds-5.2.0\bin\rtiddsgen.bat C:\Users\***\Projects\idl-***\idl-files\Point.idl -d C:\Users\***\Desktop\point -language C# -create typefiles -create makefiles -platform x64Win64VS2013 

But I have around 50 IDL files I want to compile to a single shared library like I am doing it now under Linux with C++. For that I am using CMAKE. But I cannot CMAKE with C# and VisualStudio to bring to link to DDS. The linker complains that the namespace DDS is not defined.

In CMAKE I am linking like:

ADD_LIBRARY(${TARGET_NAME} 
  ${${TARGET_NAME}_IDL_DATAMODEL}  # Output variable of ADD_IDL_FILES macro
  )


TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES(${TARGET_NAME} SHARED
  wsock32  ${Connext_LIBRARIES}
  "C:/Program Files (x86)/Reference Assemblies/Microsoft/Framework/.NETFramework/v4.0/mscorlib.dll" 
   "C:/Program Files/rti_connext_dds-5.2.0/lib/x64Win64VS2013/nddsdotnet451.dll" 
   "C:/Program Files (x86)/Reference Assemblies/Microsoft/Framework/.NETFramework/v4.0/System.Data.dll"
   "C:/Program Files (x86)/Reference Assemblies/Microsoft/Framework/.NETFramework/v4.0/System.dll" 
   "C:/Program Files (x86)/Reference Assemblies/Microsoft/Framework/.NETFramework/v4.0/System.Xml.dll")

IDL_DATAMODEL contains a list of all generated .h* and .c* files generated by rtiddsgen. Connext_LIBRARIES holds a full path to all ndds*.lib files needed. As I said this approach works flawlessly under Windows.

Of course I am also setting all relevant defines:

SET(Connext_DEFINITIONS -DNDDS_USER_DLL_EXPORT -DNDDS_DLL_VARIABLE -DRTI_WIN32 -DWIN32 -DWIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN)
add_definitions(${Connext_DEFINITIONS})

Is there a better way to manage lots if idl files?

Best regards,

Andreas
