Wrappering C functions
Hello all,
I am trying to call an API function from within Forte on a Windows
95 PC. I have written the C++ wrappering and have compiled this
separately successfully into a dll file.
However, the 'Integrating With External Systems' manual says that two
additional files are created when then library project is created and
installed - a '.cc' and '.cdf' file. The required compiler on a
Windows 95 PC is Microsoft C++ v5.0 which I have, but this does not
recognize a '.cc' file. If this file is renamed to be a '.c' file
and then compiled, the class definitions in the included '.cdf' files
do not match the compilers expected format.
I have tried using FCOMPILE in the directory with the '.bom' file and
the '.cc' and '.cdf' files, specifying the path to the compiled
wrapper code, but this did not produce any output.
Can anyone tell me PLEASE:
How should I be compiling these '.cc' and'.cdf' files with my C++
wrappering file to produce the final dll file that Forte is
expecting?
Do I need to specify to Forte the location of the compiler somehow?
Thanks in advance

I have written Forte C project file to call Action Workflow API
functions using forte 2.0, Microsoft VC++ 5.0 for our
Intranet application. Here are some comments:
*Checking environment variables for both forte and VC++.
*Make sure the xxx.lib file is in the right directory as you
specify the path in your Forte C project file.
Step 3: Compile and Link Shared Libraries
1. Open Program/Command Prompt. Change directory to
Forte_Root/appdist/environment_id/xxx/cl0/Codegen/xxx,
and make sure that you have following files:
xxx.cc
xxx.cdf
xxx.def
xxx.exp
xxx.mar
xxx.nti
2. Make sure file xxx.lib in the directory \...\xxx.lib.
4. Type fcompile, press enter.
5. Make sure that you have the following generated
distribution files in the
same directory:
xxx.dll
xxx.lib
xxx.obj
*Make a new xxx.lib file using VC++ if you still have problems.
*It is more convinent to install Forte AutoCompiler.

There are some environment variables (aka registry entries) that must be
entered to specify the location of your compiler. You may need to call
Forte support for the exact names of these settings.
