esql compile error. esql[952]: cc: not found.

[kermada]

I'm getting the esql[952]: cc: not found. error on AIX
when trying to compile any *.ec program.
Did a hello world and it gets the error

Anyone have any ideas why or how to fix.

Thanks,
Dave

Two possibilities:

1) You don't have a C compiler.

2) You have a C compiler, but it's not called "cc".

Solution to 1: Install a C compiler.

Solution to 2: Set the INFORMIXC environment variable to the correct
name of your C compiler.

HTH,

Oh, now that was the answer to that question.
Now, I'm getting "gcc: `-b' must come at the start of the command
line".
And gcc is there an compiles the hello.c program just fine.

I think there's at least a third possibility (if not more):

- there is a compiler and it may even be called cc,
but the PATH environment variable is not set correctly,
so this existing compiler is not found.

- so you'd need to find out, whether there is a compiler,
where it is and what its name is. Then, besides fixing
a possible name problem, fix the PATH as well.

[ It may well be, that on AIX the C-compiler is optional,
and possibly even costs additional money. ]

Martin

You are using GNU C (gcc) on AIX, but the esql script is passing arguments that are for the native AIX C compiler, xlc (which is usually installed with a link to it named cc for compatibility).  Make a copy of $INFORMIXDIR/bin/esql  and modify it to remove the -b option it's passing to $(CC).  Then either put the new script earlier in your path or rename esql and replace it with your modified one.
