IBM Content Manager, Version 8.5 Operating systems: Windows, AIX Supports: Oracle, DB2, C++

Setting up the C++ environment (C++ only)

To set up the C++ environment, you must define the environment variables and the compiler flag.

When you set up your Windows or AIX® environment, you must establish the settings described in this section. The following table lists Library, AIX shared and DLL requirements.

Remember: To use C++, you must install DB2® Client support and the Client Configuration Assistant on all remote servers accessing the IBM® Content Manager database. For details, see the administering information.

Important: cmbcm81x.lib is for release build and cmbcm81xd.lib is for debug build, where x represents Microsoft Visual C++ .NET Version 2003 (71) compiler or Microsoft Visual C++ Version 2005 (8).

Tip: The Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 compiler can be installed on the same machine as the Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003 compiler. The Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 compiler can also be used to compile library server user exits for IBM Content Manager installed on Windows.

To compile IBM Content Manager applications using the .NET 2003 compiler, you must add the MSVC71 compile flag in the .mak files or in the project files. For example, in the compile flag definitions, add /D MSVC71. If you do not define the compiler flag, your application does not compile. For more information, check C++ sample makefiles.

To compile IBM Content Manager applications using the Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 compiler, you must add the MSVC80 and MSVC71 compile flag in the .mak files or in the project files. For example, in the compile flag definitions, add /D MSVC80 and /D MSVC71. If you do not define the compiler flag, your application does not compile. For more information, check C++ sample makefiles.

Tip: Some of the IBM Content Manager Version 8 C++ native APIs use the operators typeid and dynamic_cast to access the Run time Type Information (RTTI) of IBM Content Manager objects. This means that your C++ application must be compiled with the /GR option to enable RTTI support. See the IBM Content Manager Version 8 C++ sample makefiles for example compiler options.
