Hello

I read and reread your e-mails several times and realized that all the
libraries in the esql script where using .a libraries instead of .sl
libraries. So I edited the informix/bin/esql file and replaced all .a
libraries by their .sl equivalent. I was able to successfully do a make and
make install, but the make test fails and I will post another message for
that problem. I had upgraded Informix from 7.3 to 9.4 but that did not make
any difference.

Thank you

Olivier Delaporte

[..immediate reaction...]

IIRC, the +z option is related to shared libraries, which in turn is
related to position-independent code - PIC. The GCC option is
probably -fPIC or -fpic.

[...looks at the message...there's lots of evidence of -fPIC...]

Hmmm; why is that picking up libifgen.a (a static, non-shared
library). You may need to go dinking with:

DBD_INFORMIX_ESQLC_LINKAGE=-shared

in the environment. Information about environment variables is in
DBD-Informix-2003.04/Notes/environment.variables. If that doesn't
cure it, then you are going to need to look hard at the esql script,
and probably at esqlld via DBD_INFORMIX_DEBUG_ESQLLD. CSDK 2.40 is
quite old. I seem to remember that some versions of ESQL/C on HP-UX
do static linking by default, even though every other platform does
shared linking. I think the linkage environment should fix that up;
but you need to be sure that the libraries being linked into the
DBD::Informix shared object are themselves shared libraries - .sl -
and not static.
