This section begins the machine specific information for setting up Open C API
on a Linux system and includes the necessary information you need to create
environment variables and to compile, link, and run your Open C API programs.
Environment variable
Description
UGII_USERFCN
This variable is defined in .ugii_env and points to the NX directory where the
Open C API libraries reside.
Although this variable is defined for you in .ugii_env, you can customize this
variable for your own Open C API environment. For example, you can define
UGII_USERFCN to point to the directory that contains the libraries. On a
typical system, this environment variable points to: ${UGII_BASE_DIR}/ugii.
Running Open C API Programs
Open C API programs can be run from any of three environments: the operating
system, an NX Open C API interface, or an NX GRIP program.
Linux/MacOS does not require special run time support for Open C API programs. To run
an external Open C API program, type its name at the NX shell prompt. Any
ASCII terminal can be used to run these programs.
GRIP Open C API Interface
Any task which can be run from the UFUN interface can also execute from a GRIP
program using the XSPAWN command. See the GRIP programmers manual for more
details.
