Compiling and Linking

The following makefile shows the dependencies among the files needed to compile the client and server applications and link them to the RPC runtime library and the standard C run-time library.

This makefile was used to build client and server applications from the source code in this tutorial. The stubs and headers were generated with MIDL version 2.0. The build environment was Microsoft Visual C++ 4.0, running on Windows NT 3.51. The compiler and linker commands and arguments may be different for your computer configuration. See your compiler documentation for more information.

#makefile for helloc.exe and hellos.exe
#link refers to the linker
#conflags refers to flags for console applications
#conlibs refers to libraries for console applications
