How to build ESQL/C Windows Demo wcesqldmo in 8.2A and later

INTRODUCTION
============
This knowledgebase entry documents the steps needed to build
the ESQL/C Windows Demo program, wcesqldmo. The steps are
for Progress Version 8.2A and later.

PROCEDURAL APPROACH
===================
1) Set the following Progress environment variables:

set DLC=<the directory that Progress is installed>
for example: DLC=C:\DLC

set PATH=%DLC%;%DLC%\bin;%DLC%\probuild\eucapp;%PATH%

set PROOIDRV=%DLC%\bin\oidrvr32.exe (small client only)

set PROPATH=%DLC%\probuild\eucapp;%DLC%\probuild\eucapp\euc.pl

2) Set the following MSDEV environment variables (MSDEV 4.2 is
the currently supported version of the Microsoft C compiler for
32-bit Windows):

set MSDevDir=<directory containing the C compiler>
for example: MSDevDir=C:\msdev

set INCLUDE=%MSDevDir%\include;%MSDevDir%\mfc\include;%INCLUDE%

set LIB=%MSDevDir%\lib;%MSDevDir%\mfc\include;%LIB%

set PATH=%MSDevDir%\bin;%PATH%

3) Create a copy of sports database in your working directory
(from DOS command):

prodb sports sports

4) Copy all the files from $DLC/probuild/esqlc to your working
directory (from DOS):

copy %DLC%\probuild\esqlc\* .

5) Preprocess the wesqldmo.cc with the following command (from DOS):

sqlcpp wesqldmo.cc

6) Compile the resulting wesqldmo.c with the following command
(from DOS):

cl -c wesqldmo.c -MT

7) Run probuild utility (from the icon) to create a link script.

8) Choose ESQL/C LARGE CLIENT (FULL) from the product list in
probuild.

9) Choose Winsock TCP/IP as a configurable element in probuild.

10) Enter wesqldmo.obj and wcesql.res as object files in probuild.

11) Run the load script with the following:

link @wcesql.lnk

12) Run the executable.

esqltllg.exe

13) A dialog box will appear that says "Enter PROGRESS database
login parameters". Enter the following:

-db sports -1 trig %DLC%\sports.pl

A window will appears that lists the tables and fields in the
sports database.
