Fast RTPS installation from sources

In this post, we'll install Fast RTPS on the linux(ubuntu machine)

• Dependencies

you need to install following libraries

1. Boost 1.61 ( http://www.boost.org/ )
2. gtest (https://github.com/google/googletest)
   
3. java
4. gradle(to compile fastrtpsgen)! (https://gradle.org/ )
5. CMake
   

• Install ation from sources
1. set Environment variable
   
1. FASTRTPSHOME: Root folder where eProsima Fast RTPS is installed.
2. Additions to the PATH: the /bin folder and the subfolder for your Visual Studio version of choice should be appended to the PATH.
2. make directory
1. [root]# mkdir Fast_RTPS
2. [root]# mkdir build
3. git clone
1. [root]# git clone https://github.com/eProsima/Fast-RTPS
4. execute cmake
1. [root]# cd build
   
2. [root]# cmake ../ -DEPROSIMA_BUILD=ON -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=install
3. vim CMakeCache.txt
   
4. before 'make' you need to configure your cmake file according to your system.
1. //Activate the compilation of the Java application
   BUILD_JAVA:BOOL=ON
2. //Build example
   COMPILE_EXAMPLES:BOOL=ON
3. //Path to a file.
   GMOCK_INCLUDE_DIR:PATH=/root/gtest/googletest/googlemock/include
   
   //Path to a library.
   GMOCK_LIBRARY:FILEPATH=/root/gtest/googletest/googlemock/lib/libgmock.a
   
   //Path to a library.
   GMOCK_LIBRARY_DEBUG:FILEPATH=/root/gtest/googletest/googlemock/lib/libgmock.a
   
   //Path to a library.
   GMOCK_MAIN_LIBRARY:FILEPATH=/root/gtest/googletest/googlemock/lib/libgmock_main.a
   
   //Path to a library.
   GMOCK_MAIN_LIBRARY_DEBUG:FILEPATH=GMOCK_MAIN_LIBRARY_DEBUG-NOTFOUND/libgmock_main.a
4. //Path to a file.
   GTEST_INCLUDE_DIR:PATH=/root/gtest/googletest/googletest/include
   
   //Activate the execution of GTest tests
   GTEST_INDIVIDUAL:BOOL=ON
   
   //Path to a library.
   GTEST_LIBRARY:FILEPATH=/root/gtest/googletest/googletest/lib/libgtest.a
   
   //Path to a library.
   GTEST_LIBRARY_DEBUG:FILEPATH=/root/gtest/googletest/googletest/lib/libgtest.a
   
   //Path to a library.
   GTEST_MAIN_LIBRARY:FILEPATH=/root/gtest/googletest/googletest/lib/libgtest_main.a
   
   //Path to a library.
   GTEST_MAIN_LIBRARY_DEBUG:FILEPATH=/root/gtest/googletest/googletest/lib/libgtest_main.a
   
5. after modifing your CMakeCache.txt file you save this file and cmake one more time
1. [root]# cmake ../ -DEPROSIMA_BUILD=ON -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=install
6. and then make
   [root]# make
   [root]# make install
7. set library path to library
1. [root]# cd /etc/ld.so.conf.d
2. vim fast_rtps.conf
1. add path to fast-rtps library
   
2. for example in my case this path was : /root/DDS/Fast-RTPS/build/install/lib
   
   
8. after finishing 'make' and 'make install' procedure you can enjoy your RTPS Good luck!
