ONC/RPC for Microsoft Windows
oncrpc-ms is yet another port of Suns "Open Network Computing Remote
Procedure Call" (ONC/RPC) for Microsoft Windows. This port is based on
the ACPLT implementation, which is based on Martin Gergeleit's
package, which is based on Suns "RPCSRC 4.0". This project, though,
features public Subversion access and MinGW support. Support for
Visual C++ .NET 2003 is also planned. The goal for this project is to
become the de facto standard ONC RPC implementation for Microsoft
Windows. Please note that ONC RPC does not support IPv6. If you need
this, take a look at the libtirpc project (a Windows port is yet to be
done).
Here's a small FAQ:
Q: There are already several ONC/RPC implementations for Windows
available. Why yet another fork?
A: All implementations that I've found are poorly maintained. The
thing that disturbes me most is the lack of version control. For me,
it's just not sufficient to put up a onrpc.zip file on the web. I want
bug tracker, version control, mailing etc.
More will follow.
