Build Instructions For XML-RPC For C/C++ On Windows
|
|
|
|
|
---------------------------------------------------
|

|
|
|
|
|
These instructions are for static link libraries, using Microsoft Visual
|
|
|
|
|
Studio 7 and later. There are project files to create DLLs, using
|
|
|
|
|
Visual Studio 2008 or later, in the 'dll' subdirectory. People maintain
|
|
|
|
|
those project files separately from the rest of the build system, so it's
|
|
|
|
|
not uncommon for something to work with one but not the other.
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Run the batch file ConfigureWin32.bat, found in the Windows
|
|
|
|
|
directory. This will copy four(4) headers to the appropriate folders.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. Load xmlrpc.dsw in MSVC[7,8] or later, and build the Release or Debug
|
|
|
|
|
configurations. DLL configurations are not included, and may not compile.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This build requires that you have a Microsoft SDK, or Plaform SDK
|
|
|
|
|
installed, since among other things, it uses <http.h>, and
|
|
|
|
|
HTTPAPI.LIB, from the SDK.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Once built, the rpctest.exe, in the bin folder, should run with no errors,
|
|
|
|
|
and the xmlrpc_sample_add_server.exe, using port 8080, and
|
|
|
|
|
xmlrpc_sample_add_sync_client.exe should communicate ... proving 7+5 = 12 ;=))

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Have fun.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
PS: Several other batch files are included in the Windows folder ...
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
delsln.bat - to delete all the MSVC7 and 8 solution file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
diffcfg.bat - compare the headers in windows with the version used in
|
|
|
|
|
the compile. Requires diff.exe to be in the path.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
updcfg.bat - copy the 3 manually maintained configuration files back
|
|
|
|
|
to the Windows folder (for distribution).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
cleawin32.bat - deletes the headers used in the compile. That is does the
|
|
|
|
|
opposite of ConfigureWin32.bat.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
cleanall.bat - to remove ALL the binary files created. Requires an xdelete
|
|
|
|
|
program which will recursively delete an entire folder.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There is some historical information in ReadMeOld.txt, which used to be
|
|
|
|
|
the contents of this file. Some of it is still valid.

Developing XML-RPC For C/C++ for Windows
|
|
|
|
|
----------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you fix or enhance something in the Windows build system, please send
|
|
|
|
|
your updates to the Xmlrpc-c maintainer to be included in future releases
|
|
|
|
|
so others don't have to repeat your work.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Output of a Subversion 'diff' is usually the best way to send updates,
|
|
|
|
|
but you can also send complete files or just a description of the
|
|
|
|
|
change if that is easier.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For the project files, we distribute only MSVC6-compatible DSP and DSW
|
|
|
|
|
files (which are, of course, usable as input to later versions of MSVC
|
|
|
|
|
as well). That means if you need to modify something in the project
|
|
|
|
|
files and you are not using MSVC6, you must edit the project files
|
|
|
|
|
manually as text files. Modifying them via the IDE would simply
|
|
|
|
|
generate new files in a format that cannot be used with older MSVC.
