When you build a sample C or C++ application, an executable
version is created.
Before you begin
To build the C or C++ samples, you must have the appropriate
compiler installed as described in Operating environments.
This
topic provides
the information that you need to build the C and C++ applications.
Steps for this task
Procedure
- Open a command prompt window.
- Change to the directory that contains the source and makefile
for the sample application you want to build.
- Type one of the following commands:


If you are using AIX, Linux,
or Solaris type make.
If you are using Windows, type nmake.
The command builds an executable version of the application
in the current directory. This application has the same name as the
folder; for example, if you are building the C version of the sample
message producer application, SampleProducerC.exe is created in the
SampleProducerC folder.
- Before running the samples, make sure that the directory
where you have installed XMS is specified by the appropriate environment
variable:
On AIX, the <install_dir>/lib
directory must be in the path specified by the LIBPATH environment
variable.

On Linux and Solaris, the <install_dir>/lib
directory must be in the path specified by the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment
variable.
On Windows, the <install_dir>\bin
directory must be in the path specified by the PATH environment variable.
Note: If the application is built in 64bit mode then
on Windows <install_dir>/bin64 should be added to the PATH environment
variable, in place of <install_dir>/bin and on all other platforms <install_dir>/lib64
should be added to the appropriate environment variable, in place
of <install_dir>/lib.
