Setting up the development environment

You may need to compile your own programs using IRIS headers, which may link to IRIS libraries. Some use cases:

• Writing your own code to read or write IRIS products using the IRIS data structures
• Writing your own input or output pipe program to convert the data to another format
• Writing your own code to interface to the RCP and RVP using our public APIs. For example, for an offline diagnostic program.
• Defining new product types

You must install the source files, object modules, and libraries on your system.
