1. Installation

These instructions assume you have already installed an RTI Connext® host and a target (.rtipkg). The target must support Ada (look for “Ada Language Support” in the Core Libraries Platform Notes). See the instructions in the RTI Connext Installation Guide.

Then, either:

  • Use the prebuilt target package (.rtipkg) for x64Linux4gcc8.5.0, built with GNAT Pro 25.1. This is the same package mentioned above.

  • Or, use the buildable source code bundle for Ada. Download rti_ada_language_support-<connext-pro-version>-src.tar.gz, extract its contents, and see the generated README for more information. You can build with GNAT Pro 21.1 - 25.1.

    • If you are using GNAT Pro 23 - 25.1, you need the target package for x64Linux4gcc8.5.0.

    • If you are using GNAT Pro 21.1 - 22.x, you need the target package for x64Linux3gcc4.8.2. This is a custom-supported architecture, available by contacting support@rti.com.

To generate an Ada project for your IDL types, use Code Generator and specify your target architecture:

rtiddsgen -language Ada -example x64Linux4gcc8.5.0 HelloWorld.idl

or

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

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