This section describes the key steps of building applications based on ODA BimRv SDK. To learn how to download ODA BimRv SDK release libraries for a specific platform, see Download ODA BimRv SDK.

To see the list of supported platforms for ODA BimRv SDK see Supported platforms.

Configuring Build Process

ODA BimRv SDK is available as a shared library.

To compile a client application that uses ODA BimRv SDK shared libraries, the following steps are required:

• The path to the directory that contains the shared libraries must be provided.
• The path to the directory with header files must be provided. They are located in the BimRv\Include directory of a release package.
• .lib files for all shared libraries must be linked. They are located in the BimRv\lib directory of a release package.
• If the application intends on using ODA BimRv SDK extension modules, all .tx (.txv) files must also be placed along with other library files (see How to Load Additional Modules).

Platform-specific Symbols

Client programs must define one or more platform-specific preprocessor symbols when building client applications (for some platforms these preprocessor symbols are defined automatically by the compiler). The effect of these symbols can be seen in the OdPlatform.h header file.

Example projects and configured files with all required settings can also be found in the release packages.

Link Order for UNIX-based Platforms

The link order is essential when linking libraries for UNIX-based platforms.
