Compiling and Linking RFC Programs

In general, you have to use an ANSI C compatible C-compiler and set the include and library search path to the installed RFC SDK include and lib directory.

On some platforms you also have to link the TCP/IP socket libraries explicitly.

Assume.../rfcsdk is the root directory of the unpacked RFC SDK. You must use the following compile/link syntax for the program sapinfo.c on different platforms.

• HP-UX:

  cc -Ae -I.../rfcsdk/include -L.../rfcsdk/lib sapinfo.c librfc.a

• AIX (RS/6000):

  ccc -I.../rfcsdk/include -L.../rfcsdk/lib sapinfo.c librfc.a

• SINIX (RM600):

  /opt/C/bin/cc -I.../rfcsdk/include -L.../rfcsdk/lib sapinfo.c librfc.a -lsocket -lnsl -lusc

  Note

  You should use the above compiler because the librfc.a is also compiled with it.

• DEC Alpha AXP:

  cc -std1 -unsigne -DA_OSF -I.../rfcsdk/include -L.../rfcsdk/lib sapinfo.c librfc.a

• SUN (SunPro):

  /opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc -Xc -xcg92 -I.../rfcsdk/include -L.../rfcsdk/lib sapinfo.c librfc.a -lsocket -lnsl

  Note

  You ought to use the above compiler because the librfc.a is also compiled with it.

• WINDOWS with a 16-bit C-compiler:

  cl /nologo /Gs /G2 /W4 /AL /D "_DOS" /Od /D "_DEBUG" /Mq /Fesapinfo.exe sapinfo.c librfc16.lib /link

• WINDOWS with a 32-bit C-compiler:

  cl -nologo -Od -G5 -Z7 -Gs -W3 -J -D_X86_ -DWIN32 /MT /FR -Fesapinfo.exe sapinfo.c librfc32.lib

• OS/2 2.1 and higher:

  icc -Gm+ -Ss+ -Ti -J- -DOS2 B"/E /NOI /ST:0x8000" sapinfo.c librfc.lib (sample for IBM VisualAge C++ V3)
