Porting Applications

HP NonStop DCE Application Programming Guide—429551-003

5-2

Required Change

Only one source change was required to port this application—changing the name of

an include file to use the standard POSIX name:

infpls_s.c

The errno.h file is now included instead of the sys/errno.h file when the program

is compiled on a POSIX-compliant system. This change is marked (a) in the listing of

Figure A-4 on page A-5.

Improvements

These minor improvements were also made to the application:

•

These files were changed to eliminate C compiler warnings and to improve

application error reporting:

infpls_c.c

Changes were made to report errors importing bindings and errors returned by

the get_system_info() remote procedure call. These changes are marked

(a), (b), (c), and (d) in the listing of Figure A-5 on page A-7.

infpls_i.c

The file stdlib.h was included to eliminate a C compiler warning. This

change is marked (a) in the listing of Figure A-6 on page A-9.

infpls_s.c

•

An error message is now printed if the server is not able to listen. This

change is marked (b) in the listing of Figure A-4 on page A-5.

•

A type cast was used to eliminate a C compiler warning. This change is

marked (c) in the listing on page A-6.

•

This file was created:

infplsmk.tns

This make file is for use on NonStop systems and is shown in Figure A-7

page A-12. It is a modified version of infplsmk.ibm. The only difference is the

name of the C compiler.

Conversion to the DCE 1.1 Server Initialization

API

This subsection describes a conversion of the Information Please server to use the

DCE release 1.1 server initialization API and the serviceability API.

The Information Please server can run effectively using the DCE release 1.0.3 server

initialization routines. This conversion to the release 1.1 server initialization API is
