Error compiling myschema on Solaris 7 X86

I get the following error making myschema: 2:$ gmake -f myschema.mk.norcs INFORMIXC=gcc esql -O3 -EDNOINT8=1 -c myschema.ecmyschema.ec:147: invalid macro name `1' myschema.eh:172: `defined' without an identifier myschema.eh:172: parse error gmake: *** [myschema.o] Error 1 3:% esql -V INFORMIX-ESQL Version 7.10.UD1 6:% gcc -v Reading specs from /usr/sww/pkg/egcs-1.1.2/lib/gcc-lib/i386-pc- solaris2.6/egcs-2.91.66/specs gcc version egcs-2.91.66 19990314 (egcs-1.1.2 release)

I can recommend to register with Sun and get their Sun Studio for free. I am just not sure if it suports Solaris 2.6 that you seem to use, but that can be checked. C, C++ and FORTRAN compilers are included. I never had problems with Sun compilers, and I did with gcc compiling Informix related stuff, albeit I am not close to have an expert knowledge of gcc. BTW: Anyone care to say if we can expect Informix on Solaris x86/x64 again? I am tired of following kernel, glibc etc variations. And I don't consider to use BSOD OS for databases on Intel/AMD.

I'll help where I can, but you'll likely have to upgrade SOMETHING! > I get the following error making myschema: > > 2:$ gmake -f myschema.mk.norcs > INFORMIXC=gcc esql -O3 -EDNOINT8=1 -c myschema.ec> myschema.ec:147: invalid macro name `1' I think that's my problem, and I don't know why it even compiles for me! On line 147 (line 155 in my release) remove the redundant '#define MAINCODE 1' that follows the 'EXEC SQL DEFINE MAINCODE 1;' on the previous line. The first macro is making the second look like '#define 1 1 '.

Change any constructs that I used that look like: #if defined( VARNAME ) --into something like: #ifdef VARNAME which is the older syntax. I seriously don't like that syntax so, sorry, but I'm not 'fixing' the distributed source. > > 3:% esql -V > INFORMIX-ESQL Version 7.10.UD1 ESQL/C 7.10 was distributed in 1994 & 1995! You should be able to use the latest CSDK version and the ESQL/C that's included in that. It's free and backward compatible. You'll want to install it in a separate directory from INFORMIXDIR until you recompile/relink all of your existing ESQL/C code, though, the C code that the ESQL/C preprocessor generates changed after v7.24, so the shared libraries are likely not compatible with older executables. However, recompiled/relinked tasks should talk to whatever release of IDS you are running without problems. > 6:% gcc -v > Reading specs from /usr/sww/pkg/egcs-1.1.2/lib/gcc-lib/i386-pc- > solaris2.6/egcs-2.91.66/specs > gcc version egcs-2.91.66 19990314 (egcs-1.1.2 release) The Solaris release is circa 1993-1994 also, IB. And GCC ... nevermind you know what you've got and why you've got it. Sorry (and I sincerely mean that in whichever way you choose to take it). Art S. Kagel
