esql library and header files - compile/link problem

I am trying to create an esql program BUT within it I need to open and close a UNIXodbc datasource. Because of this I'm having problems. I can compile EITHER eqsl OR the ODBC code but I do'nt know how to put them together. What would be the best approach?

It compiles the ODBC source with the correct ODBC headers. It links the ESQL/C object and the ODBC object with the ESQL/C libraries (supplied implicitly by the esql script) and the ODBC libraries (specified on the command line). If, perchance, you had an ODBC compiler script instead of just using the C compiler direct, you'd tell ESQL/C that the 'C compiler' was the hypothetical but implausible ODBC compiler script by setting INFORMIXC=odbcc in the environment.
