Detailed Description

This section describes in detail how to compile RTI Connext DDS Micro using CMake. It starts with an example that uses the included scripts followed by a section showing how to build manually.

CMake, available from CMake , is the preferred tool to build RTI Connext DDS Micro because it simplifies configuring the RTI Connext DDS Micro build options and generates build files for a variety of environments. Note that CMake itself does not compile anything. CMake is used to generate build files for a number of environments, such as make, Eclipse CDT, Xcode and Visual Studio. Once the build-files have been generated any of the tools mentioned can be used to build RTI Connext DDS Micro. This system makes it easier to support building RTI Connext DDS Micro in different build environments. CMake is easy to install with pre-built binaries for common environments and has no dependencies on external tools.

NOTE: It is not required to use CMake. Please refer to Custom Build Environments for other ways to build RTI Connext DDS Micro.
