PowerRPC is an RPC development tool that can make any of C function calls across process boundaries over the network, it slashes client-server development time by automatically generating networking code from an interface.
PowerRPC search its configuration parameters in the following order:
Important configurations are,
PowerRPCˇˇUsage
Windows programmers only:
1. After you use the IDL compiler to generate the client-server stub code
from an interface, you can either use the generated makefile to compile
the server and client on the command line, or simply add the C files into
the projects they belong to. When use the powerRPC generated makefile,
you need to set the LIB and INCLUDE enviroment varible for searching C
libraries and include files, when you add the files into an IDE project,
you need to add the $POWERRPC_HOME/lib to the library search path
and $POWERRPC_HOME/include to the include file search path.
2. After you have compiled the server, you must first start the portmapper for the server to register (unless you use a fixed port and set appropriate properties to bypass portmapper). The portmapper(portmap.exe) has a simple UI, to get one which is a Windows NT service, please contact Netbula.
After the these major steps, you are ready to put powerRPC to work.
Happy programming.
