Hello,
I'm trying to compile the MC76 supportpac for AIX 5.2, my background with C/C++ involves learning the languages in great detail and being able to compile simple one source file projects in windows and some in linux. I've been banging away at trying to compile this supportpac for AIX 5.2 but i'm completely lost in the linking and the libraries and so on, the only compiler available is gcc which is installed.
Can you somebody please make suggestions as to what commands I should use to compile this? An explanation of what the commands do or links to tutorial websites would be greatly appreciated! |

The PDF included in the support pack discusses link options.
But if you're having trouble, can I recommend you get your feet wet with something other than an exit? They are not the easiest MQ code and problem exits can cause havoc...

Granted the pdf does discuss link options however these are for windows implementations, I've successfully worked on applications written in java to connect to queue managers and manipulate queues in different ways however this is because I have a strongish java background and know the compilers quite well, this seems to be a bit foreign to me, my background in c++ went as far as OO techniques, dynamic memory, c & c++ interoperability etc however I never really dived into linking 3rd party libraries and never really used gcc to its full extent...any general information (doesnt have to be specific) would help, examples would be nice too.
Thanks guys... |

Well i've got it compiled now using the following commands:
| Code: |
gcc -c exit.c
gcc -o exit exit.o /usr/mqm/lib/libmqutl_r.a -eMQStart
|
I'm not sure if I should include exit.exp though using the -bE:exit.exp switch:
| Code: |
#!
clwlFunction
MQStart
|
To get it to compile I had to comment out the line:
| Code: |
_ltoa(parms->DestinationChosen, tmpbuf, 10);
|
Since the above seems to be a windows specific call, a quick google search reveals that it converts the digits of a given long value to a character string.
Now that i've got it linking successfully, i'll probably go through the code and hack it up to make it work on aix, any comments would be greatly appreciated... |

| Code: |
gcc -g -DLINUX -DANSI_PROTOTYPES -shared -c mqFoExit.c
gcc -g -DLINUX -DANSI_PROTOTYPES -shared /usr/mqm/lib/libmqutl_r.a -e clwlFunction mqFoExit.o -o mqFoExit.so
|
The entry point was wrong, i've corrected that, however I dont think that ltoa function is available at all in this version of gcc (2.95.3 and 3.3.2).
tleichen: I'm sorry if i'm not as knowledgeable as you, I would appreciate if you could post a more constructive comment, thanks.
I also know the exit wont work without that line, I merely did that as a test... |
