11.6 Building the greet Programs
The client side of the greet application is the greet_client program, which is built from
the following:
• The user-written greet_client.c client module
• The IDL-compiler-generated greet_cstub.o client stub module
• The user-written util.c module containing the error-checking routine
• DCE libraries
The server side of the greet application is the greet_server program, which is built from
the following:
• The user-written greet_server.c server module
• The user-written greet_manager.c manager module
• The user-written util.c module containing the error-checking routine
• The IDL-compiler-generated greet_sstub.o server stub module
• DCE libraries
These programs can be built by make with a makefile such as the following:
DCEROOT = /opt/dcelocal
CC = /bin/cc
IDL = idl
