Informix Upgrade : Compilation Problems
Gurus - We are migrating from IDS 7.20UD2 to 7.32FC2, Solaris 2.6 to Solaris 2.8 64 bit, Sun Workshop C compiler from 5.0 to 5.5, Informix 9.30 to 9.40. I am tryng to recompile the same programs in the new envirnoment. However I come across the following errors in compiling. Has someone faced the same problem before and solved it ? What could be the problem here ? snapshot of the error : ___________________________________ ld: warning: file /apps01/xyz/dev/src/tools/datefun.a(holiday.o): wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32 Undefined first referenced symbol in file checksum info_pldg.o soundex arbcase.o reverse_ascii /apps01/xyz/dev/src/tools/xyzlib.a(ban ner_help.o) load_holiday_array /apps01/xyz/dev/src/tools/xyzlib.a(crt ools.o) validate_date /apps01/xyz/dev/src/tools/xyzlib.a(val idate.o) ld: fatal: Symbol referencing errors.

The program obviously compiled well in my previous versions... Don't know whether it is a linking problem . Hopefully I get some help and answers. Thanks a lot in Advance! Bkr

I assume you mean I4GL (c-code) 7.20.UD2 to 7.32.FC2 - if you meant the former version of IDS, you're years overdue to upgrade, and the second version doesn't exist. And the 9.30 to 9.40 comment supports this hypothesis. > However I come across the following errors in compiling. > Has someone faced the same problem before and solved it ?

Most likely, you need to rebuild that whole library. > Undefined first referenced > symbol in file > checksum info_pldg.o > soundex arbcase.o > reverse_ascii > /apps01/xyz/dev/src/tools/xyzlib.a(ban > ner_help.o) Dunno about these - they don't look very much like date functions. > load_holiday_array > /apps01/xyz/dev/src/tools/xyzlib.a(crt > ools.o) > validate_date > /apps01/xyz/dev/src/tools/xyzlib.a(val > idate.o) These two do look like date functions. > ld: fatal: Symbol referencing errors.
