Chapter 2 Quick Start

2.1 Getting Started

Before you can create applications that use SourcePro C++ products, you must install and build those products using RCB.

This chapter explains every major step required to make a buildspec. Topics covered include:

1. Installing RCB and your SourcePro C++ components. Components are products, modules, and examples (Section 2.2).

2. Creating a buildspec. The buildspec provides RCB with details about selected components, the compiler environment, and the location where completed components should be placed (Section 2.5).

3. Executing the buildspec from either the GUI or the command line (Section 2.6).

4. Interpreting the results of an executed buildspec (Section 2.7).

Once familiar with the covered topics, you can write and build your own applications, as explained in the separate manual, Building Your Applications.
