Introduction

This repository contains the C++ implementation of the Spread-based transport for the Robotics Service Bus middleware.

The full documentation for RSB can be found here.

This product uses software developed by Spread Concepts LLC for use in the Spread toolkit. For more information about Spread see http://www.spread.org.

Dependencies

• CMake build system
• Boost C++ libraries
• The RSC C++ library
• The C++ implementation of RSB
• The C client library of the Spread group communication framework

Building and Installing

This project uses the default CMake workflow (assuming the RSC and RSB libraries have already been installed into <prefix>):

cd <path to code>/build/
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=debug -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=<prefix> ..
make
make test       # opt. run unit tests
make install    # install

To generate a coverage report chose coverage as CMake build type and do

make
make test
make coverage
