Download the latest gSOAP package from the SourceForge gSOAP project site. The gSOAP distribution package includes two compiler tools to develop your applications: The 'wsdl2h' WSDL parser. This tool converts WSDLs and XSD files into annotated C/C++ definitions. The 'soapcpp2' stub and skeleton compiler. This tool generates RPC code and XML serializers from the annotated C/C++ definitions. The 'wsdl2h' parser converts WSDL into gSOAP header file specifications of Web services. This specification gives a C/C++ transparent view of the server's functionality. The header file is processed by 'soapcpp2' to generate the source code stubs and skeletons to invoke the service or build a new service based on the WSDL.

In this tutorial, we are going to use gSOAP Toolkit. Because gSOAP is working on a lot of OS, I suppose you chose Linux and potential embedded and/or optimized linux like Raspbian on Raspberry Pi.

Getting Start with gSOAP

Raspbian is a free operating system based on Debian optimized for the Raspberry Pi hardware. An operating system is the set of basic programs and utilities that make your Raspberry Pi run. However, Raspbian provides more than a pure OS: it comes with over 35,000 packages, pre-compiled software bundled in a nice format for easy installation on your Raspberry Pi.
