By default, the c89/cc/c++ compiler expects all options to + precede all operands. To get around this, you must set a special + compiler environment variable (_CXX_CCMODE) to 1 which tells the compiler + to allow options and operands to be interspersed. <P> + + Note that the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH is called LIBPATH + on MVS. <P> + + Shared objects are built a little different on MVS than on + other UNIX implementations. This has been accounted for in the makefiles + that come with ACE When the linker (via the cxx command) builds the + libACE.so file it will also create a file called libACE.x. This is a + side-deck file and it must be included in subsequent link edits with + application code. For more information on this see the C/C++ MVS + Programming Guide. If you want to build your application statically, + i.e., using libACE.a instead of libACE.so, you can set ACELIB to + ACELIB_STATIC in platform_mvs.GNU. <P> + + When the libACE.so file is built (via the MVS pre-linker and binder), you + will get a rc=4 from the pre-linker. This is ok. This is due to some + warnings about unresolved references which should get resolved during the + link step. Note, however, there shouldn't be any unresolved references + from the binder (linkage editor). You can get pre-link and link maps by + uncommenting the PMAP and LMAP lines in the platform_mvs.GNU file. <P> + +<P><HR><P> Back to the <A HREF="http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~schmidt/ACE.html"> ACE</A> home page. |
