1. Installation

Note

RTI Ada Language Support is not included in 7.4.0 or 7.5.0. If you need Ada Language Support, you should use a previous release in which it was available, such as 7.3.0. See RTI Connext Ada Language Support Release Notes 7.3.0.

As with any target bundle, RTI® Ada Language Support must be installed after you’ve installed a host bundle of RTI Connext®.

Use the <NDDSHOME>/bin/rtipkginstall utility (where NDDSHOME is where you installed the host bundle, such as /home/user/rti_connext_dds-<version> for non-root users, or /opt/rti_connext_dds-<version> for root users). The package installer is also available in RTI Launcher. See the instructions in the RTI Connext Installation Guide for installing a target bundle.

Note

Before you can compile Ada applications, you will need to install a target bundle for the supported architecture (x64Linux3gcc4.8.2). This is a separate package file, not part of Ada Language Support.

After installing the Ada support package, you can use rtiddsgen to generate Ada projects for your IDL types as follows:

rtiddsgen -language Ada -example x64Linux3gcc4.8.2 HelloWorld.idl

Note

An Ada source package is also available: rti_ada_language_support-<connext-pro-version>-src.tar.gz.

See the generated README for instructions.

In addition to the Release Notes and Platform Notes in this document, see also the RTI Connext Ada API Reference or find the API Reference in your Ada Language installation, in doc/api/connext_dds/api_ada.
