Platform dependent issues

The powerRPC IDL compiler generates identical source code for all supported UNIX-like platforms. The generated code for WIN32 only differs slightly. The powerRPC runtime library encapsulates the platform dependent issues.

PowerRPC is based on top of ONC{gif RPC. On systems (such as SVR4, e.g., Solaris 2.5) which uses TIRPC (TLI networking code), you may need link to additional libraries such as libsocket and libnsl. On other systems which use the socket based ONC RPC, no additional libraries need to be linked.
