The following terminology is used to refer to the environment in which RTI Connext DDS Micro is built and run:

• The host is the machine that runs the software to compile and link RTI Connext DDS Micro.
• The target is the machine that runs RTI Connext DDS Micro.
• In many cases RTI Connext DDS Micro is built and run on the same machine. This is referred to as a self-hosted environment .

The environment is the collection of tools, OS, compiler, linker, hardware etc. needed to build and run applications.

The word must describes a requirement that must be met. Failure to meet a must requirement may result in failure to compile, use or run RTI Connext DDS Micro.

The word should describes a requirement that is strongly recommended to be met. A failure to meet a should recommendation may require modification to how RTI Connext DDS Micro is built, used, or run.
