Hallo Fred!

Antwort auf eine Message von Fred Springfield an Mario Semo:

thats according to what i say.

let SOMRUNTIME point to the directory where SOM is loaded from. which in your
case is OS2. (and not Lotus).

here is a old mail regarding this (and one other) envir setting

Mario,

Regarding the

  SET SMCLASSES=WPTYPES.IDL

  SET SOMRUNTIME=F:\IBMCPP\DLL statements you asked about before:

  SOMobjects Developer Toolkit Users Guide
  Page B - 1

  The SOM Toolkit supplies a program, ctoi , to assist users
  in converting .csc files to .idl files.  Before running ctoi
  , ensure that the directories containing files to convert
  have all the neces - sary .sc and .psc files already
  created.  (The SOM Compiler can be run with the -ssc and
  -spsc options to create .sc and .psc files from a .csc
  file.)  The conversion process requires a list of all the
  classes used in the files to be converted, so that forward
  references to classes can be handled correctly . Store this
  list of class names in some file (for example, clsfile ).
  The name of this file must be specified to the SOM Compiler
  by the SMCLASSES environment variable:

  For OS/2:
   SET  SMCLASSES=clsfile
  For  AIX:
   export  SMCLASSES=clsfile


  The process of converting .csc files to .idl files requires
  a list of all the classes used in the .csc files so that
  forward references to classes can be handled correctly.
  The list must be stored in a file, and the SMCLASSES
  environment variable establishes the file name when
  ctoi is run.


 I believe the key to SMCLASSES appears to be the phrase
 "forward reference".  I was able to run "ctoi" and successfully
 convert a .csc file to an .idl file with SMCLASSES unset.
 If no forward references are made, the SMCLASSES and the
 associated file contents do not appear to be required.


 Install support for SOM apps Installation/Configuration Guide
 Page 105

 Windows  applications
 Since  SOMobjects is not supplied in the Windows operating system, a base
 reference  point is needed for every application that installs the
SOMobjects
 W orkstation  Enabler run time. On the Windows system, this is determined
from
 the  value of the  SOMRUNTIME  environment variable.

 To  package and install a version of the SOMobjects Workstation Enabler run
 time  for Windows, you must adhere to the following rule:
 The  SOMobjects Workstation Enabler  run time must be loaded from only
 one  place  on the system, and that place is the directory pointed to  by
 SOMRUNTIME .  If the  SOMRUNTIME  environment variable has not  previously
 been  set, the location of the run time is at the discretion of the install
 program.  However , SOMRUNTIME  must be set to  the installed directory
 following  the installation.
