The INFORMIXC environment variable
specifies the filename or pathname of the C compiler
to be used to compile files that IBM Informix ESQL/C generates. The
setting takes effect only during the C compilation
stage.
If INFORMIXC is not set, the default compiler
on most systems is cc.
Tip:
On Windows, you pass either -mcc or
-bcc options to the esql preprocessor
to use either the Microsoft or Borland C compilers.
>>-setenv--INFORMIXC--+-compiler-+-----------------------------><
'-pathname-'
- compiler
- is the filename of the C compiler.
- pathname
- is the full pathname of the C compiler.
For example, to specify the GNU C compiler,
enter the following command:
setenv INFORMIXC gcc
Important:
If you use gcc, be aware that the
database server assumes that strings are writable, so you need to
compile using the -fwritable-strings option.
Failure to do so can produce unpredictable results, possibly including core dumps.
