Re: 4GL app segmentation fault on Solaris (Sparc) w/gcc

Read the Release Notes -- they sometimes contain useful information, like how to compile I4GL with GCC. -fwritable-strings Yours, Jonathan Leffler (johnl@informix.com) #include <disclaimer.h> }From informix-list-owner@rmy.emory.edu Sun Dec 3 20:44:33 1995 }From: neal@fohnix.metronet.com (Neal Howard) }Subject: 4GL app segmentation fault on Solaris (Sparc) w/gcc }Date: 3 Dec 1995 21:49:07 -0600 }To: informix-list@rmy.emory.edu }X-Informix-List-To: eu-informix-distr@inflon.informix.com }X-Informix-List-Id: <news.19420> } }I've got a bizzare problem that's killing me.
