We recommend Windows users use Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL). As of 4/3/2024, we have been unable to consistently get rpl-sim working on Windows natively -- and even when we do, there is some odd behavior.
We use g++ as our primary compiler. Others should work, but using g++ is proven to work.
We use CMake as a build system. You can either install directly or use a package manager. Be sure to get version 3.22 or greater.
If you use apt-get, the default registry has an older version as of 4/3/2024. You should follow the steps in this AskUbuntu thread.
Boost is a large C++ library that rpl-sim uses for serial ports, ordinary differential equations, and more. Boost is not embedded inside of rpl-sim and must be downloaded separately.
Follow the instructions on the Boost website to download the Boost library onto your machine. We use some libraries that require Boost to be built locally. Be sure to follow the entire guide, particularly section 5.
We do not recommend using a package manager for this dependency.
Follow Google's C++ style guidelines.
