Generate a 4go file from c4gl
eferreyra asked how to generate a .4go file for r4gl using c4gl. Jonathan Leffler said c4gl produces C-code and cannot target p-code; fglpc file.4gl produces the .4go. Art Kagel described concatenating fglpc objects for multi-file apps. The real aim was using a web-service client built with w4glc in a p-code program; Jonathan said I4GL-SOA did not support p-code at that time.

Hello, a question: How can i generate a .4go file to be linked with the r4gl for fglgo with c4gl ? Thanks

It cannot be used to generate for the I4GL-RDS (p-code) compiler; you need the fglpc command (and a development copy of I4GL-RDS) for that. If you have r4gl, though, you should have the fglpc compiler too. fglpc file.4gl This will generate file.4go for use with r4gl. -- Jonathan Leffler <jonathan.leffler@gmail.com> #include <disclaimer.h> Guardian of DBD::Informix - v2013.0118 - http://dbi.perl.org "Blessed are we who can laugh at ourselves, for we shall never cease to be amused."
If you have a multi-file 4Gl app and want to link the modules together just fglpc each source file then cat the resulting object files together into a single .4go or .4gi executable and run that using fglgo.

Ok, i know about fglpc, let me explain, all our main programs are compiled as .4go and linked as .4gi. Now i have followed instructions (very hard ones) to create a .4cf file for a web service suscribe, with this .4cf file and the w4glc tool i generate the .c and .o file for the ws client, to use this client from .4gl i see that i need to use the c4gl compiler, i did, but how can i make the web service client to our .4gi (p-code) main program then ? Thanks

Also known as the XY Problem ( http://mywiki.wooledge.org/XyProblem). I4GL-SOA does not support p-code at the moment, AFAICR. That is, it supports c-code services, but not p-code services. There is nothing completely impossible about supporting p-code, but the parts have not all been hooked together (and doing so is not entirely trivial). -- Jonathan Leffler <jonathan.leffler@gmail.com> #include <disclaimer.h> Guardian of DBD::Informix - v2013.0118 - http://dbi.perl.org "Blessed are we who can laugh at ourselves, for we shall never cease to be amused."
