Compiling a C UDR

To compile a C UDR, use a C compiler to compile the source file (.c file extension) into an object file (.o file extension) and create a shared-object file that contains the object file.

The IBM Informix BladeSmith development tool, which is part of the DataBlade Developer's Kit, automatically generates makefiles to compile the DataBlade module code that it generates. It creates a makefile with a .mak extension for compilation on UNIX or Linux or with a .dsw extension for compilation on Windows. A makefile automates compilation of C UDRs. To compile a C UDR into a shared-object file (with a .bld extension), you only have to run the appropriate makefile. For more information, see the IBM Informix: DataBlade Developer's Kit User's Guide.
