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.
