Create New Prolifics Executables
As part of the Prolifics installation package, a set of standard Prolifics executables is provided. Depending on your configuration and on the platform and database being used, you might need to create new executables. Specifically, a new executable is required if you are using a database for which DLLs are not provided (that is, your database is not among those listed starting on page 10).
To create new executables, Prolifics distributes a single makefile that can be invoked via the command line utility, nmake. The instructions are detailed below. Alternatively, Prolifics distributes a workspace and project files for use with Microsoft Developer Studio. Instructions on how to use the workspace are provided in the Release Notes.
To create a new Prolifics executable:1.Complete the Prolifics installation process.
2.Ensure that the appropriate application variables (SMBASE, etc.) have been applied to your environment.
3.Go to your application directory (or create one) and copy all files from the Prolifics link subdirectory to it.
4.Edit the makefile in your application directory, commenting or uncomment- ing lines as needed to build the appropriate executables. For further informa- tion, refer to page 14.
