Compile your Built-In Function on Windows
Compile and link it into a DLL (you may need to widen this window to see the example properly):
When using the Microsoft C compiler shipped with LANSA, the PATH, INCLUDE and LIB environment variables need to be initialized with the location of this compiler. First, run the cmd program to open up a command prompt. Then set the environment variables using the following examples. You will need to change the directory name to reflect where you have installed LANSA:
set Path=C:\Program Files\LANSA\MicrosoftCompiler90\bin;%Path%
set INCLUDE=C:\Program Files\LANSA\MicrosoftCompiler90\include;%include%
set LIB=C:\Program Files\LANSA\MicrosoftCompiler90\lib;%lib%
When using a Microsoft compiler direct from Microsoft, open a command window using the Microsoft-installed short cut similar to in the Microsoft Visual Studio 2010\Visual Studio Tools program folder. This sets up the required environment variables.
Change the current drive to be .....\X_LANSA\SOURCE
---> Edit the .C file via a standard source editor

| To attempt a compile and link, for Microsoft C/C++ use Command:
| NMAKE /e /a /f U_BIFnnn.MAK SRCROOT=D:\LANSAV10\X_WIN95\X_LANSA TRGROOT=D:\LANSAV10\X_WIN95\X_LANSA
| See Command Notes below

---- If errors detected
If no errors, test by executing an RDML function
that uses your built-in function.
Backup your .C, .MAK, .WMK, .DEF and .DLL files.
(the DLL is created in the x_lansa/execute directory).
Command Notes:
In this command:
NMAKE /e /a /f U_BIFnnn.MAK SRCROOT=D:\LANSAV10\X_WIN95\X_LANSA TRGROOT=D:\LANSAV10\X_WIN95\X_LANSA
SRCROOT is the location of the SOURCE directory where the .C is located
TRGROOT is the location of the EXECUTE & OBJECT directories where the .OBJ & .EXE will be created.
The paths cannot contain directory names that contain spaces. This is a restriction of Microsoft's NMAKE utility. To obtain an alternative name (otherwise known as a short name) for the directory with a space in it, open a "Command Prompt" window and use the "/X" option with the DIR command (i.e. DIR /X). The short name will be displayed next to the long name. For example, the common windows directory "PROGRAM FILES" will typically have a short name of "PROGRA~1". Your NMAKE command may look like this:
NMAKE /e /a /f U_BIFnnn.MAK SRCROOT=D:\PROGRA~1\LANSA\X_WIN95\X_LANSA TRGROOT=D:\PROGRA~1\LANSA\X_WIN95\X_LANSA
