Create New Prolifics Executables
As part of the Prolifics installation package, a set of standard Prolifics executables
is provided. Depending on your configuration and on the platform and database
being used, you might need to create new executables. Specifically, a new
executable is required if you are:
`
Using a database other than JDB.
`
Using IXI Motif libraries.
To create a new Prolifics executable:
1.
Complete the Prolifics installation process, including licensing.
2.
Ensure that the appropriate application variables (
SMBASE
, etc.) have been
applied to your environment.
3.
Go to your application directory (or create one) and copy all files from the
Prolifics
link
subdirectory to it.
4.
Edit the
makefile
in your application directory, commenting or uncomment-
ing lines as needed to build the appropriate executables. For further informa-
tion, refer to page 37.
5.
Uncomment the appropriate database in the
makefile
and edit the database-
specific
makevars.
dbs
(where
dbs
is the extension of the database) file to
choose the correct version of your database software. For further information,
refer to page 37.
6.
Type
make
at the command line to build the executable. By default, the
makefile
in the current directory is used for the
make
command.
7.
The
make
process creates a new Prolifics executable,
prodev
. Give the
executable file a unique name to distinguish it from the distributed executable
or others that you have built differently.
8.
If you are running IXI Motif, and you rebuilt the
prorun
executable, copy the
new
prorun
to
jiutil
in the Prolifics
util
subdirectory.
9.
If you built a new web application server executable (
jserver
), modify the
SERVER
variable in your applications’ initialization files to reference the new
jserver
executable in its own directory. Do not overwrite the
jserver
executable in the
util
directory.
