Introduction

This repository contains a set of C++ libraries that provide different RPC communications.

• eProsima Fast RPC provides a fast RPC communication using a modified CDR serialization over TCP.
• eProsima RPC over DDS provides an RPC communication over an OMG DDS implementation. Currently it supports eProsima Fast RTPS and RTI DDS implementations.
• eProsima RPC over REST provides an RPC communication over RESTful paradigma.

Build

This repository provides CMake scripts to build and install the RPC libraries. Also in eProsima you can find packages for Linux using autotools and binaries for Windows.

The following subsections explain how to make an out-of-tree build using CMake, for each RPC library:

eProsima Fast RPC

To enable the building of this library, the option -DRPCPROTO=fastrpc has to be passed to CMake. By default, this library will be built.

$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake ..
$ make

eProsima RPC over DDS

To enable the building of this library, the option -DRPCPROTO=rpcdds has to be passed to CMake.

Using eProsima Fast RTPS

To compile against eProsima Fast RTPS, the option -DWITH_FASTRTPS=ON has to be passed to CMake. By default, this library links against eProsima Fast RTPS.

$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake -DRPCPROTO=rpcdds ..
$ make

Using RTI DDS

To compile against RTI DDS, the option -DWITH_RTIDDS=ON has to be passed to CMake.

$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake -DRPCPROTO=rpcdds -DWITH_RTIDDS=ON -DWITH_FASTRTPS=OFF ..
$ make

eProsima RPC over REST

To enable the building of this library, the option -DRPCPROTO=rpcrest has to be passed to CMake.

$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake -DRPCPROTO=rpcrest ..
$ make
