Re: Dynamic Link for ESQL/C ?

Hi, In 7.20 on Solaris, at any rate, the flag for shared libraries is '-shared' rather than '-dynamic', though shared libraries are the default. However, since neither 7.10.UC1 nor 7.13.UC1 on Solarishas support for either '-shared' or '-dynamic', I cannot tell you what happens on platforms which do support shared libraries at version 7.1x.
