Compiling the Skeleton Code

[This is preliminary documentation and subject to change.]

    To compile the skeleton code

1. From the \Wbem\include directory, type the following commands:

   midl wbemsvc.idl

   midl providl.idl

   midl wbemdisp.idl

2. From the \Prov directory, run: MKTYPLIB myprov.odl /h myprov.h.
3. Make sure \Wbem\include and \Wbem\Include are in your include path.
4. Make sure \Wbem\Lib is in your lib path.
5. You must compile Myprov.cpp and Olesrvr.cpp. You are creating a Microsoft Foundation Class (MFC) DLL.
6. When you link, you must include framedyn.lib and framestat.lib and you must use myprov.def.

For Microsoft® Visual C++® version 5 users, this would be done as follows:

1. Create a new project named MyProv of type Win32 Dynamic Link Library in location \Prov.
2. Project/AddtoProject/Files olesrvr.cpp, myprov.def and myclass.cpp.
3. Go to Project/Settings.
4. Under C/C++ Preprocessor tab, select the category options and add the two paths for the include files: c:\Wbem\Include and c:\Wbem\Include.
5. Under Link/Input tab add the lib path and the two lib files (framedyn.lib and framestat.lib).
6. Under the Additional Lib Path tab add c:\Wbem\Lib.
7. Make sure \Wbem\Lib is in your lib path.
8. Save the settings.
9. Under Build, select Build MyProv.dll.
