Application Compilation and Linking
The C language examples directory for TIBCO ActiveSpaces includes a Makefile that you can use to compile and link the example programs. It is recommended that you examine this Makefile to see which compiler flags and linker options to use for building your application.
Table 2, ActiveSpaces Compiler Platforms lists compilers that you can use for each platform supported by TIBCO ActiveSpaces:
| Compiler | Platforms |
|---|---|
| xlC | AIX |
| aCC | HP-UX |
| gcc | Linux, Mac |
| CC | Solaris |
| cl | Windows |
When linking your application, you might need to link the libraries listed in Table 3, Link Libraries for ActiveSpaces, depending on your platform and whether you statically link libraries:
| Platform | Library | Description |
|---|---|---|
| All | as-common | Required for by all applications that use the C API. |
| All | as-tibpgm | Required for applications that use tibpgm for discovery. |
| Linux, Mac, AIX, HP-UX | pthread | Posix threads library. |
| Solaris | thread | Solaris threads library. |
| Linux, Mac, AIX | dl | Dynamic loading library. |
| Windows | ws2_32.lib | Windows socket library. |
| Windows | advapi32.lib | Windows advanced services library. |
Running Your Application
To run your application, ensure that your environment has been set up properly for running a TIBCO ActiveSpaces application. Ensure that your path or library path is set up properly so that the TIBCO ActiveSpaces libraries can be found when you run your application. For information on setting up your environment, see the TIBCO ActiveSpaces Installation guide.
