demo/c++ link failure

Hi All, I am working on HP-UX 9000/800 platform. I am trying to compile the demo source code provided with the Informix 14.10 client. (informixConnect_1410/demo/c++/) I modified the make file in order to use gcc and c++ compilers rather than cc and aCC. Unfortunately, any demo program ends with a linking error. Is someone have an idea why the linker doesn't find the symbol embedded in libifc++.a library? Many thanks for any help by advance. For instance: > make tabcnt > /gccinstall/gcc/local/bin/c++ -g -Wall -Wextra -pthread -O0 -isystem/gccinstall/gcc/local/include -ext -D__STDCPP__ -D_PROTOTYPES -DMITRACE_OFF -DIT_HAS_DISTINCT_LONG_DOUBLE -DIT_COMPILER_HAS_LONG_LONG -I/informixConnect_1410/inc -I/informixConnect_1410/incl/public -I/informixConnect_1410/incl/c++ -I/informixConnect_1410/incl/dmi -I/informixConnect_1410/incl/esql -c tabcnt.cpp > /gccinstall/local/bin/c++ -o tabcnt tabcnt.o -L/informixConnect_1410/lib/c++ -lifc++ -L/informixConnect_1410/lib/dmi -lifdmi -L/informixConnect_1410/lib/esql -L/informixConnect_1410/lib -lifsql -lifasf -lifgen -lifos -lifgls -lifglx /informixConnect_1410/lib/esql/checkapi.o -lm -lV3 -lcl -lsec -lnsl_s -lc -ldld /usr/ccs/bin/ld: Unsatisfied symbols: ITQuery::ExecOneRow(ITString const&, ITEssential**)(first referenced in tabcnt.o) (code) ITQuery::~ITQuery()(first referenced in tabcnt.o) (code) ITConnection::~ITConnection()(first referenced in tabcnt.o) (code) ITQuery::ITQuery(ITConnection const&)(first referenced in tabcnt.o) (code) ITConnection::Open() (first referenced in tabcnt.o) (code) ITString::~ITString()(first referenced in tabcnt.o) (code) ITConnection::ITConnection()(first referenced in tabcnt.o) (code) ITString::ITString(char const*)(first referenced in tabcnt.o) (code) collect2: ld returned 1 exit status *** Error exit code 1 My makefile is now like this: #Makefile related...

Hi Stephane, Have you thought about setting the environment variable LIBPATH or LD_LIBRARY_PATH before running the make command? LIBPATH or LD_LIBRARY_PATH tells the make command which directories to search for dynamic link libraries. In your LIBPATH or LD_LIBRARY_PATH, you must add the Informix dynamic libraries directories (as $INFORMIXDIR/lib, $INFORMIXDIR/lib/esql and $INFORMIXDIR/lib/tools) and all the Unix libraries directories (as /lib, /usr/lib ...).

Are we talking about this: " The HP 9000 800 Nova servers were second-generation 32-bit HP PA-RISC servers from the early 1990s and based on PA-7000 and PA-7100 processors. " ? And in relation to Informix version 14.10 (or corresponding client sdk 4.50)? I don't know that either server version 14.10 or client version 4.50 had been built and provided for HP-UX on PA-RISC (rather than Itanium), so you might simply be looking at a software compatibility problem. I don't even recall the last version that had been provided for HP-UX on PA-RISC. Let's hope I'm on a totally wrong track here ;-) ------------------------------ Andreas Legner ------------------------------

Hi, Yes, I am talking about this kind of computer. (We are on the cutting edge of technology :)) So, actually the version of the sdk is 3.7 0 for HPUX PA-RISK. (But it has been renamed by a teammate informixConnect_1410) However, the link still does not work . I also tried to add the libraries path in LD_LIBRARY_PATH and LIBPATH as suggested by ------------------------------ Stephane GONZALEZ ------------------------------
