Re: gcc With Informix 4GL

In article <2v0v52$2ti@panix.com> hjm@panix.com (Harry Mayer) writes: I am attempting to compile I4gl using the gcc compiler with no success. The links fail, the application compiles but cores when executed. I am using the stock "c4gl" script and substituting "cc" with "gcc". Could it be as simple as compiler options?? Any help would be appreciated. I am using gcc-2.5.8 with the c4gl from 4.10 on an RS-6000. The Informix libraries like to violate the ANSI C standard and write into string constants (Informix bug #22228). Here is my patch to c4gl that makes the whole thing work: *** /usr/informix/bin/c4gl Wed Dec 18 17:02:44 1991 --- /usr/local/bin/c4gl Mon May 9 15:02:41 1994 *************** *** 44,49 **** fi !
