Installing and Building Your SourcePro® C++ Products : Chapter 2 Quick Start : Installing RCB and Components
Installing RCB and Components
The RCB installation process requires the execution of an installation script (InstallShield on Windows, InstallAnywhere on UNIX). Before you execute the script, ensure that you have a license key file and that you know its location as the installation script will ask you for this.
License Key File
Rogue Wave products are licensed individually by module, operating system, and compiler. RCB determines whether a given build is allowed by checking the license.key file. You must have this file to unlock and install your SourcePro C++ products. You should have received this file when you purchased the product.
Installing RCB and SourcePro Components
To install RCB and one or more products, you must use the InstallShield or InstallAnywhere installation scripts.
During the installation, you will
Specify where the license file is located.
Select a location for the buildspace; that is, tell the installation script where you want components to be installed and built.
Select one or more components to install.
The Buildspace Directory
The following example demonstrates the tree structure of the buildspace directory. The buildspace directory in this example contains the Essential Tools Module from SourcePro Core and the Currency Module from SourcePro Analysis.
For more information about buildspaces, see “Specify a Buildspace” and Chapter 4.
