Crreating a UDR on HPUX 10.20

I have a simple c routine that I am trying to compile into a shared library, but the only examples I can find are for Solaris. The file I am trying to compile is named checkcaps.c. I first issue the following command: >cc -PIC -DMI_SERVBUILD -I/home/informix_udo/incl/public - I/home/informix_udo/incl -L/home/informix_udo/esql/lib -c checkcaps.c This results in a checkcaps.i file. I then issue: >ld -G checkcaps.i -o checkcaps.so This returns the following error: ld: checkcaps.i: Not a valid object file (invalid system id) Any ideas?

Lots of blank lines where there used to be #define's and so on. -- Yours, Jonathan Leffler (Jonathan.Leffler@Informix.com) #include <disclaimer.h> Guardian of DBD::Informix v1.00.PC1 -- http://www.perl.com/CPAN "I don't suffer from insanity; I enjoy every minute of it!"
