- AUTO
-
-
- The AUTO program demonstrates the use of the ACF attribute auto_handle in
- a distributed application that generates a time stamp.
-
- The directory samples\rpc\handles\auto contains the following files to
- build the distributed application AUTO:
-
- File Description
-
- README.TXT Readme file for the AUTO sample
- AUTO.IDL Interface definition language file
- AUTO.ACF Attribute configuration file
- AUTOC.C Client main program
- AUTOS.C Server main program
- AUTOP.C Remote procedures
- MAKEFILE Nmake file to build for Windows NT or Windows 95
- MAKEFILE.DOS Nmake file to build for MS-DOS
-
- -------------------------------------------
- BUILDING CLIENT AND SERVER APPLICATIONS FOR
- MICROSOFT WINDOWS NT OR WINDOWS 95
- -------------------------------------------
-
- The following environment variables should be already set for you:
-
- set CPU=i386
- set INCLUDE=%SDKROOT%\h
- set LIB=%SDKROOT%\lib
- set PATH=%SDKROOT%\system32;%SDKROOT%\bin
-
- where %SDKROOT% is the root directory for the 32-bit Windows SDK.
-
- For mips, set CPU=mips
- For alpha, set CPU=alpha
-
- Build the sample distributed application:
-
- nmake cleanall
- nmake
-
- This builds the executable programs autoc.exe (client) and
- autos.exe (server).
-
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
- BUILDING THE CLIENT APPLICATION FOR MS-DOS
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- After installing the Microsoft Visual C/C++ version 1.50 development
- environment and the 16-bit RPC SDK on a Windows NT or Windows 95
- computer, you can build the sample client application from Windows NT
- or Windows 95:
-
- nmake -f makefile.dos cleanall
- nmake -f makefile.dos
-
- This builds the client application callc.exe.
-
- You may also execute the Microsoft Visual C/C++ compiler under MS-DOS.
- This requires a two-step build process.
-
- Step One: Compile the .IDL files under Windows NT or Windows 95:
-
- nmake -a -f makefile.dos auto.h
-
- Step Two: Compile the C sources (stub and application) under MS-DOS:
-
- nmake -f makefile.dos
-
- ------------------------------------------
- RUNNING THE CLIENT AND SERVER APPLICATIONS
- ------------------------------------------
-
- On the server, enter:
-
- net start rpclocator
- autos
-
- (You can also start the RPC Locator by running the
- Services program in Control Panel.)
-
- On the client, enter:
-
- net start workstation
- autoc
-
- Note: The client and server applications can run on
- the same Microsoft Windows NT computer when you use
- different screen groups.
-
- Several command line switches are available to change
- settings for this program. For a listing of the switches
- available from the client program, enter:
-
- autoc -?
-
- For a listing of switches available from the server
- program, enter:
-
- autos -?
-
- ---------------------
- RUNNING ON WINDOWS 95
- ---------------------
-
- If you wish to run the server on Windows 95, you will need to use
- the LRPC protocol.
-
- To start the server, enter:
-
- autos -p ncalrpc
-
- To start the client (from the same machine), enter:
-
- autoc -p ncalrpc
-
