It's my first day trying to figure out rpcgen and I can't quite understrand 2 things. First of all, how am I able to return a pointer from a procedure. But my main question is why am i getting this error when I try to compile it after I generate it. Every information would be useful
I literally do this rpcgen -a -C proj.x
then I change a part of the Makefile as follows:
CC = gcc
CFLAGS += -g -DRPC_SVC_FG
LDLIBS += -lnsl
RPCGENFLAGS = -C
and then I try the make
command
Erorr:
gcc -g -DRPC_SVC_FG -c -o proj_clnt.o proj_clnt.c
