R4GL Compilation in ANSI C

Recently in our system we installed ANSI C compiler. Now when we compile the RUNNER for R4GL using cfglgo in ANSI C, we are getting an error “ld: Unsatisfied symbol "retint(int *)"

Does Anybody know what are the changes required while we moving r4gl runner from Normal C(HP C compiler) compiler to ANSI C.

Sojan:

Did you also recently upgrade your Informix 4GL? Although I'm not a HP-UX person, I've seen similar problems with not being able to find the proper informix library. retint is an informix library call, and not part any ANSI "C" library.

The informix cfglgo command is actually a shell script, typically, located in the $INFORMIXDIR/bin directory. Back in '98 running SCO, I had to edit cfglgo and change

libgen.a

to

libixgen.a

because some Informix programmer didn't use the right library. Your problem is probably something similar to this.

If you access to Informix tech support, I'd use it.

Sorry I can't be of more help.

All embede informix function like retont retqoute etc has change thir names "retint" is now called "ibm_lib4gl_returnMInt", retquote is now called "ibm_lib4gl_returnQuotedStr" so on and so fort.
Consult the IBM Informix 4gl referenc manuel Volume 3 version 7.31 appendix C
