Compiling a Directory Server Plug-in
Keep in mind the following tips when compiling your server plug-in:
• You need to compile and link your code as a shared object or library on UNIX
or as a dynamic link library (DLL) on Windows platforms. For example, on
Solaris, specify
command.
Some compilers require that you provide special flags when compiling code
to be used in a shared object or DLL. For example, on Solaris, you must
specify the
position-independent code. Consult the documentation for your platform
compiler and linker for details.
• Make sure that the
directory is in your include path. Use
<server_root>\plugins\slapd\slapi\include
Windows 2000 plug-ins.
• On Windows platforms, link to the
located in this directory:
