Power PathPort

Build Requester

The C++ source code generated for all desired modules is compiled and linked with the PathPort run time library to create a Windows DLL.

This step is implemented via the Build Requester dialog.

Several edit fields allow selection of options.

The RPC Mechanism edit field allows selection of the remote procedure call method to be used. The product supports either Open System Standard RPC/XDR or Remote Server Call (RSC).

Transport Mechanism allows selection of a specific network protocol over which the RPC Mechanism will be run.

The initial module is specified via the Initial Module Name field. This selection is equivalent to the selection of the initial module in the Pathway environment.

All files associated with this project as listed under Available Modules. One or more of these may be selected for inclusion in the new client requester.

Clicking on the Make button causes a batch file to be executed which compiles all selected files and links them with the appropriate run time library components. The result is a ready to run DLL.
