RTC Creation Flow (for the C++ Language)
When creating an RTC in the C++ language, the following tools are required.
- CMake
- Visual Studio (Windows)
Also, by installing the following software, you will be able to generate documentation and installers.
- RTCBuilder code generation outputs the source code template and the files required as input for CMake.
- From the code generated by RTCBuilder, CMake generates build files suitable for the user’s development environment, such as Visual Studio solution files or GCC Unix Makefiles.
- Components (dll or so files) are generated from the build files and source code generated by CMake.
Limitations
RTCBuilder was developed for OpenRTM-aist. Operation with other RTC platforms is not assumed.
