Reorganize repository
* Move the project top-level CMakeLists.txt to the root of the project; this allows building Cyclone as part of ROS2 without any special tricks; * Clean up the build options: ENABLE_SSL: whether to check for and include OpenSSL support if a library can be found (default = ON); this used to be called DDSC_ENABLE_OPENSSL, the old name is deprecated but still works BUILD_DOCS: whether to build docs (default = OFF) BUILD_TESTING: whether to build test (default = OFF) * Collect all documentation into top-level "docs" directory; * Move the examples to the top-level directory; * Remove the unused and somewhat misleading pseudo-default cyclonedds.xml; * Remove unused cmake files Signed-off-by: Erik Boasson <eb@ilities.com>

System requirements
|

*******************
|
||||
|
||||
At the time of writing, Eclipse Cyclone DDS is known to run on Linux, macOS and Windows. The build-process is not yet able to generate native packages.

|

|
||||
Post install steps
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
The installation package installs examples in system directories. In order to have a better user
|
||||
experience when building the Eclipse Cyclone DDS examples, it is advised to copy the examples to a
|
||||
user-defined location. This is to be able to build the examples natively and experiment with the
|
||||
example source code.
|
||||
|
||||
For this, the installation package provides the vdds_install_examples
|
||||
script, located in /usr/bin.
|
||||
|
||||
Create an user writable directory where the examples should go. Navigate
|
||||
to that directory and execute the script. Answer 'yes' to the questions
|
||||
and the examples will be installed in the current location.
|
||||
|
||||
Type :code:`vdds_install_examples -h` for more information.

Paths
|
||||
=====
|
||||
|
||||
To be able to run Eclipse Cyclone DDS executables, the required libraries (like libddsc.so) need to
|
||||
be available to the executables. Normally, these are installed in system default locations and it
|
||||
works out-of-the-box. However, if they are not installed in those locations, it is possible that the
|
||||
library search path has to be changed. This can be achieved by executing the command: ::
|
||||
|
||||
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=<install_dir>/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
*******
|
||||

To be able to run Eclipse Cyclone DDS executables, the required libraries (like ddsc.dll) need to be
|
||||
available to the executables. Normally, these are installed in system default locations and it
|
||||
works out-of-the-box. However, if they are not installed on those locations, it is possible that the
|

library search path has to be changed. This can be achieved by executing the command: ::

**********************

Test your installation
|

**********************
|
||||
|
||||
Eclipse Cyclone DDS includes a simple :ref:`Hello World! <HelloWorld>` application which can be run
|
||||
in order to test your installation. The *Hello World!* application consists of two executables: a so
|
||||
called HelloworldPublisher and a HelloworldSubscriber.
|
||||
|
||||
To run the example application, please open two console windows and navigate to the appropriate
|
||||
directory in both console windows. Run the HelloworldSubscriber in one of the console windows by the
|
||||
typing following command:
|
||||
|
||||
:Windows: :code:`HelloworldSubscriber.exe`
|
||||
:Linux: :code:`./HelloworldSubscriber`
|
||||
|
||||
and the HelloworldPublisher in the other console window by typing:
|
||||
|
||||
:Windows: :code:`HelloworldPublisher.exe`
|
||||
:Linux: :code:`./HelloworldPublisher`
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The output HelloworldPublisher should look like
|
||||
|
||||
.. image:: ../_static/pictures/HelloworldPublisherWindows.png
|
||||
|
||||
while the HelloworldSubscriber will be looking like this
|
||||
|
||||
.. image:: ../_static/pictures/HelloworldSubscriberWindows.png
|
||||
|
||||
For more information on how to build this application your own and the code which has
|
||||
been used, please have a look at the :ref:`Hello World! <HelloWorld>` chapter.
