Building the C Examples on Windows

For the Windows platform, TIBCO ActiveSpaces provides a Makefile that works with Microsoft Visual C++.

Procedure

Ensure the AS_HOME environment variable has been set to the location where TIBCO ActiveSpaces has been installed.
Ensure the TIBRV_HOME environment variable has been set to the location where TIBCO Rendezvous has been installed.
Note: This step is only required if TIBCO Rendezvous will be used as the network transport for ActiveSpaces.
Ensure that your environment is set up for building with Microsoft Visual Studio. For example, on Windows 7 64-bit with Visual Studio 2010, enter:
```
set VCINSTALLDIR=c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC
"%VCINSTALLDIR%"\vcvarsall.bat x86_amd64
```
Enter the following commands:
```
cd AS_HOME/examples/c
nmake
```
The compiler generates executable files for the example programs.
