====== Compile using the SDK ======


===== Compile Using a Script =====
As mentioned in [[getting_started:install_and_setup_development_environment#Getting_the_Sources_with_a_script|Installation and Setup]] we suggest to use a script. After having downloaded the code you can now compile EEROS, all necessary hardware libraries, and your application program. Set the build and install directories to meaningful names. E.g. if you develop on a x86 platform for an ARM platform, edit ''config.sh.in'' as follows
<code>
install_dir="$wd"/install-armhf 
build_dir="$wd"/build-armhf 
</code>


If you use ROS you have to make sure to take necessary steps as given in [[getting_started:ros#Preparations_and_Building|Preparations and Building]], notably you have to run the ''setup.bash'' script of ROS. \\
After this you proceed with
<code>
$ ./make.sh
</code>

This will put all the executables into the build directory you have chosen and the compiled libraries together with the header files into the install directory. Please keep in mind that build and install directory are both defined in ''config.sh.in''.
