Errors generated when building with #define RTS_INLINES 0

Resolving The Problem

SYMPTOM:

In the C++ Target Guide RTS_INLINES is defined as a configuration definition which controls whether Services Library header files define any inline functions.

When this configuration definition is specified as 0 the following errors are generated in the build log when building the model:

CAUSE:

Missing dependencies.


RESOLUTION:

The problem will be fixed in the next release. The work around is to open the file %ROSERT_HOME%/C++/TargetRTS/src/RTConnector/classData.cc and add the following line:

#include <RTActor_class.h>

save the file and open %ROSERT_HOME%/C++/TargetRTS/src/RTTimerList/dt.cc and add the following line:

#include <RTTimerList.inl>

Follow the instructions on building the Services Library found at the end of Chapter 4 of the C++ Target Guide.

For example on WinNT 4.0 with Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 RTS_INLINES 0:
1. Copy the directory %ROSERT_HOME%\C++\TargetRTS\libset\x86-VisualC++-6.0 as %ROSERT_HOME%\C++\TargetRTS\libset\x86-VisualC++-6.0-INLINES0.

2. Modify the RTLibSet.h file to include the line:
#define RTS_INLINES 0

3. Copy the directory %ROSERT_HOME%\C++\TargetRTS\config\NT40T.x86-VisualC++-6.0 as %ROSERT_HOME%\C++\TargetRTS\config\NT40T.x86-VisualC++-6.0-INLINES0.

4. [Optional] If you want to make these changes for one target only, create directories RTTimerList and RTConnector in %ROSERT_HOME%\C++\TargetRTS\src\target\NT40 and copy the two files below into their respective directories. The changes to the files can then be made there.

5. Modify the file %ROSERT_HOME%/C++/TargetRTS/src/RTConnector/classData.cc to include the line:
#include <RTActor_class.h>

6. Modify the file %ROSERT_HOME%/C++/TargetRTS/src/RTTimerList/dt.cc to include the line:
#include <RTTimerList.inl>
Note:
If you don't make this change you will see errors similar to the ones below when compiling your model.

Hello.EXE : fatal error LNK1120: 2 unresolved externals

7. Open a CMD prompt.

8. use the command 'cd' to change directories to %ROSERT_HOME%\C++\TargetRTS\src

9. build the Services Library with the command:
nmake CONFIG=NT40T.x86-VisualC++-6.0-INLINES0

10. change the TargetConfiguration to NT40T.x86-VisualC++-6.0-INLINES0 on the "C++ Compilation" tab of the Component specification window.

11. re-build your model.
