Linking APPX with Oracle 7.3

Note: This document is considered OBSOLETE, as it does not apply to current versions of APPX or Oracle. However, customers running older software may find the information it contains to be useful.

Linking APPX 3.2 with Oracle 7.3 requires different Makefile.relink than the default provided, due to changes Oracle made in their library structure.

Oracle has provided documentation from their Problem Repository, a copy of which follows. After this document is a copy of Kirby's APPX/Oracle7.3 Makefile.relink that worked at BCBS-GA.

KIRBY'S APPX/ORACLE7.3 MAKEFILE.RELINK:
____________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________

# UNIX Makefile to relink appx with or without optional interfaces
#
# usage:  make -f Makefile.relink appx cisam=ccc vision=vvv
#   where cisam=ccc specifies the C-ISAM module to link in (libisam.a)
#   and vision=vvv specifies the Vision interface to link in (runcbl.a)
#
#   either or both of the parameters (cisam=, vision=) may be omitted
#   in which case the appropriate stubs will be linked in disabling the
#   interface
#

SHELL          = /bin/sh

LIB     = appx.a

## SYBASE SUPPORT
##
##  Note that you must have an environment variable named
##  'SYBASE' defined before you use try to link a Sybase 
##  enabled version of Appx.  $SYBASE must point to your 
##  Sybase installation location.
##  
##  If you receive the following error:
##    make: *** No rule to make target `/lib/libsybdb.a'.  Stop.
##  It probably means you don't have the SYBASE directory set correctly

##SYB_LIB_PATH = $(SYBASE)/lib
##SYB_NET_LIB  = $(SYB_LIB_PATH)/libtcl.a $(SYB_LIB_PATH)/libinsck.a
##SYB_CTL_LIB  = $(SYB_LIB_PATH)/libct.a $(SYB_LIB_PATH)/libcs.a 
       $(SYB_LIB_PATH)/libcomn.a
##SYB_INT_LIB  = $(SYB_LIB_PATH)/libintl.a
##SYB_LIB      = $(SYB_LIB_PATH)/libsybdb.a $(SYB_CTL_LIB) $(SYB_NET_LIB)
       $(SYB_INT_LIB)

## ORACLE SUPPORT
##
##  Note that you must have an environment variable named
##  'ORACLE' defined before you try to link an Oracle 
##  enabled version of Appx. $ORACLE must point to your Oracle 
##  installation location.
##
##  If you receive the following error:
##    make: *** No rule to make target `/lib/liboracle.sl'.  Stop.
##  It probably means you don't have the ORACLE directory set correctly
##
##  Oracle is a little trickier to link against - the HP/UX version 
##  seems to have a shared library, the AIX version does not. You 
##  have to select a flavor below:

## HP/UX - remove the '#'s from the following to link on HP/UX systems
##
ORIO_LIB_PATH = $(ORACLE)/lib
## ORIO_LIB   = $(ORIO_LIB_PATH)/liboracle.sl $(ORIO_LIB_PATH)/libocic.a
## ORIO_LIB   = $(ORIO_LIB_PATH)/libserver.a $(ORIO_LIB_PATH)/libclient.a
ORIO_LIB      = $(ORIO_LIB_PATH)/libserver.a $(ORIO_LIB_PATH)/libclntsh.sl
## AIX - remove the '#'s from the following to link on AIX systems
##
##  ORIO_LIB_PATH = $(ORACLE)/lib
##  OSNT_LIB_PATH = $(ORACLE)/rdbms/lib
##  ORIO_LIB      = -L$(ORIO_LIB_PATH) -locic $(OSNT_LIB_PATH)/osntab.o 
   $(ORIO_LIB_PATH)/mili.exp -lsqlnet -lora -lsqlnet -lora -lnlsrtl3
   -lc3v6 -lcore3 -lnlsrtl3 -lcore3


## Relational support
##
##  If you are linking an Appx engine which should include relational
##  support, enable one of the following 'rdbms = ' lines and add a '#' 
##  to the 'rdbms = rdbstub.o' line.

#rdbms = rdbstub.o
rdbms = orio.o $(ORIO_LIB)
#rdbms = sbio.o $(SYB_LIB)

vision = visionstub.o      # Stub to use if NO Vision Interface

cisam = cisamstub.o      # Stub to use if NO C-ISAM

LNK_FLAGS = 
EXE_PERMS = u+s
EXE_OWNER = appx

#
# TARGETS:
# 

appx:   $(LIB) $(vision) $(cisam)
   rm -f $@
   cc -o $@ $(LIB)        $(vision)        $(cisam)        $(rdbms)        $(LNK_FLAGS)        -lm        -lHcurses >$@-exe.L 2>&1
   chmod $(EXE_PERMS) $@
   su root -c "chown $(EXE_OWNER) $@"
