Setup Guide for Cyclone DDS Python API¶
Installation¶
To install jsonpickle via Pip on Linux/Raspberry Pi:
$ pip3 install jsonpickle
To download, build and install the Python DDS binding on Linux/Raspberry Pi run:
$ git clone https://github.com/atolab/cdds-python
$ cd python-cdds
$ ./configure
$ python3 setup.py install
Since two library files are required for the Python binding after executing the first ./configure
go into /cdds-python/bit/build/
and copy the libddstubs.so
into /usr/local/lib/
.
Edit the following line in the configure
script to be as follows:
BIT_LIB=libddsc.so
Also edit the following two lines in CMakeLists.txt
to look as follows:
add_library(ddsc SHARED dds_stubs.c)
target_link_libraries(ddsc ddsbit CycloneDDS::ddsc)
Run again:
$ cd python-cdds
$ ./configure
$ python3 setup.py install
Finally copy the libddsc.so
file from /cdds-python/bit/build/
into /usr/local/lib/
.
Warning
When executing ./configure
an error might occur stating that idlc_generate
was not found.
Simply edit the CMakeLists.txt
inside /cdds-python/bit/
to look for the Cyclone DDS package in the correct location:
find_package(CycloneDDS REQUIRED COMPONENTS idlc PATHS "${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/../../../..")
Warning
Running the command python3 setup.py install
requires internet connection in order to configure the jsonpickle package.
