Hi,

I am porting an application from Ingres II 2.5 on a Sun Sparc Solaris
2.6 machine to Ingres II 2.6 on a Sun Sparc Solaris 9 machine. When I
try to build the application the follwing compile fails with the
following symbol refencing conflicts between libingres.a(dlos.o) and
libdl.so.1

COMPILE COMMAND:
cc -w -o /users/itpdevel/revsuper/dev/deliv/loadcode/_exe/loadcode
BS-5b95.c \
-I${TUXDIR}/include -L${TUXDIR}/lib loadcode.o tpwrap.o writerrs.o

ld: fatal: Symbol referencing errors. No output written to
/users/itpdevel/revsuper/dev/deliv/loadcode/_exe/loadcode


QUESTIONS:
Can anyone tell me how to avoid this conflict seeing as libdl.so.1 is
an implicit dependency of the Sun Solaris linker and so beyond my
control?

If I exclude libigres.a and instead extract and link the various
libraries can I do without dlos.o and if so what object files do I
require for a program with simple database access such as connect,
basic SQL, prepare and execute statements and cursors?

Thanks,
Damien.

Simply adding -ldl to your link string should solve it.

Another thing you might try (in general, won't do anything to help this
particular problem) is to link with:
eval cc -o output {.o list} `cat $II_SYSTEM/ingres/files/abflnk.opt` {-l list}
where the .o list are your objects, and the -l list is your libraries
as well as system libraries. For any given platform you can usually figure
out the base set of -l's needed by looking at
$II_SYSTEM/ingres/files/utld.def

using the abflnk.opt as indicated will link libq and friends as shared
libraries, instead of dragging in all of libingres.a. You'll get smaller
binaries, which is a plus if there are lots of them.

Damien,

Just add

-ldl -lrt

to the list of link libraries.

How did I figure this out?

I don't honestly know. Just a hunch based on my past readings
of really interesting groups like comp.programing.threads and
comp.sources.sun. If you have insomnia, these are great groups
to read.

Cheers,

Mikey
