YAZ Compilation guidelines for winNT/95. $Id: windows.txt,v 1.1 1998/01/07 12:59:27 adam Exp $ This distribution of YAZ was compiled with Visual C++ 5.0. The workspace file, yaz.dsw, is located in the top-level directory. It includes 4 sub-projects: yaz.dsp Builds yaz.dll. This DLL includes the source in all sub directories except for 'server', 'client' and 'ztest'. To export public functions the header files includes the modifier YAZ_EXPORT which is defined in yconfig.h. The value of this modifier, __declspec(dllexport), probably only works with VC. client/client.dsp Builds client.exe as a console application. It links with the import library yaz.lib. This application searches for yaz.dll during runtime. server/server.dsp Builds the library, server.lib, which includes the source from 'server'. Unlike the UNIX version, the server library is multi-threaded. ztest/ztest.dsp Builds ztest.exe as a console application. It links with the import library yaz.lib and the regular library server.lib. When running ztest make sure it is able to find the record test files dummy-records, dummy-grs, and dummy-words in the current directory. As an option ztest may be installed as an NT service (not Windows 95). Use 'ztest -install ' to install it and 'ztest -remove ' to remove it again. Since NT runs the service program in some weird directory, such as \winnt\system32, it's probably a good idea to use the option '-w' to change to some other directory. For example ztest -install -w d:\proj\yaz\ztest -l ztest.out tcp:@:210 which specifies both working directory and a log file, so you can see what's going on.
