2. CMake options

eProsima DDS Monitor provides numerous CMake options for changing the behavior and configuration of DDS Monitor. These options allow the developer to enable/disable certain DDS Monitor settings by defining these options to ON/OFF at the CMake execution, or set the required path to certain dependencies.

Warning

These options are only for developers who installed the DDS Monitor following the compilation steps described in Linux installation from sources.
