Starting RCB

Because RCB helps to build your libraries, it needs to run in an environment where your compiler is available.

On Windows, this means a DOS command window set for the Visual Studio compiler version and bitwidth (32 or 64) that you plan to build with. The Visual Studio entry in the Start menu provides links for starting several variations of pre-configured command windows. Start the one that meets your requirements, then:

1. In the command window, navigate to installdir\rcb\bin.

2. Enter rcb to start the component builder.

On UNIX, ensure that your terminal window is set with your build environment, navigate to installdir\rcb\bin, and enter rcb.

RCB requires the Java Runtime Environment (JRE). SourcePro does not bundle the JRE so you will need, at a minimum, Java 1.8. Since Java needs to be accessible from the command line environment, the easiest solution is to add it to your PATH.

The Welcome Screen appears once the batch file is executed.
