Compiling and Linking the NOF Application

Applications are compiled with different options in order to select one of the scheduling modes described in “Scheduling Asynchronous Events”.




	NOTE: Applications that use asynchronous API callbacks must either be built as multithreaded applications or include support for the application scheduled mode. Motif applications must include the code fragment described in “Motif Applications”. Applications linked with previous versions of SNAplus2 that used signal-based scheduling mode and the single-threaded library, `libmgr.sl`, will continue to work in the current version of SNAplus2. However, this library is provided only for back-compatibility. New applications should not use this library.

-I: Indicates the include path.
-L: Indicates the directory of the library or libraries to be used when linking the application.
-l: Each -l indicates the name of a library.

For HP-UX operating systems, link with the following options:

cc -I /opt/sna/include -L /opt/sna/lib -lnof -lsna

For HP-UX operating systems, linking options depend on the version of the operating system:

For HP-UX 10.20 (only DCE threads are supported), link with the following options:
cc -I /opt/sna/include -L /opt/sna/lib -lnof -lmgrdce -ldce
For HP-UX 11.0 using DCE threads, link with the following options:
cc -I /opt/sna/include -L /opt/sna/lib -lnof -lsna -ldce
For HP-UX 11.0 using Kernel threads, link with the following options:
cc -I /opt/sna/include -L /opt/sna/lib -lnof -lsna -lpthread
