# C Programmer’s Checklist

Use this checklist when developing C programs that use the TIBCO FTL API.

When using the group facility, see also Programmer’s Checklist Addenda for Groups.

## Environment

Use the `setup` script in the `samples` directory to set environment variables.

## Code

Include the header file `ftl.h` (which in turn includes other header files).

## Compile

Compile programs with an ANSI-compliant C compiler.

Use the compiler flags in the `Makefile` in the `samples/src/c` directory.

## Link

On UNIX platforms, use the linker flags `-ltib -ltibutil`.

On Windows platforms, link the corresponding C library files, `tib.lib` and `tibutil.lib`.

## Run

On Windows platforms, the `PATH` variable must include the `bin` directory to use the TIBCO FTL DLL files.

On UNIX platforms, the `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` variable must include the `lib` directory to use the TIBCO FTL library files.

Ensure that the TIBCO FTL realm server is running, and that each client process can connect to it.
