3. Prerequisites

The Vortex OpenSplice environment must be set correctly for UNIX-based platforms before the Vortex OpenSplice IDL Pre-processor can be used.

Run release.com from a shell command line to set the environment.

release.com is located in the root directory of the Vortex OpenSplice installation (<OSPL_HOME>):

% . <OSPL_HOME>/release.com

The Vortex OpenSplice IDL Pre-processor, idlpp, can be invoked by running it from a command shell:

% idlpp

The idlpp command line options are fully described in IDL Pre-processor Command Line Options.
