For testing (which will be done in step 6), copy the following block of code into your new .cpp file, under the #include "pch.h" line (or the #include "stdafx.h" line):
#include "ctdbsdk.hpp" // c-tree headers
int main (int argc, char * argv[])
{
CTDBRET retval = ctdbStartDatabaseEngine();
return(0);
}
Note that the #include "pch.h" line (or the #include "stdafx.h" line, which Visual Studio put in), must remain, and be the first compiled line of code in the .cpp file. Only comments and white space are allowed above it.
