Semi-related to our earlier fun with AIX and DBD build environments.

Solaris 8, 9.40FC, CSDK2.80UC (now in a separate dir CSDK2.90FC), Perl
5.6.1

I got the esqlbasic program to compile and run installing the 64 bit
CSDK (standalone),
upgrading to gcc 3.3.2 and setting INFORMIXC='gcc -m64 after clearing
arch9 args out of the esql file

But, when running "perl Makefile.PL" to build the BundleBD::informix I
am still getting:

ld: fatal: file $INFORMIXDIR/lib/esql/libifsql.so: wrong ELF class:
ELFCLASS64
ld: fatal: file $INFORMIXDIR/lib/libifasf.so: wrong ELF class:
ELFCLASS64
ld: fatal: file $INFORMIXDIR/lib/esql/libifgen.so: wrong ELF class:
ELFCLASS64
ld: fatal: file $INFORMIXDIR/lib/esql/libifos.so: wrong ELF class:
ELFCLASS64
ld: fatal: file $INFORMIXDIR/lib/esql/libifgls.so: wrong ELF class:
ELFCLASS64
ld: fatal: file $INFORMIXDIR/lib/esql/libifglx.so: wrong ELF class:
ELFCLASS64

This is the same error I get when building esqlbasic.ec with the
INFORMIXC env variable set to gcc rather than gcc -m64.

I cannot seem to figure out how to make the "perl Makefile.PL" have the
-m64 argument (assuming this is the problem, since it seems to have been
that on the esqlbasic compile, it throws errors about sizes being
redefined.) Is there some wiz-bang way to do this?

I have never had issues biulding DBD with Solaris and GCC in the past,
but this box is killing me.

The Box I built with similar OS, etc worked like a dream, so a bit
confused.

isainfo -k /-v show the same thing on both working and not sun boxes.

Thanks in advance,

Sam

5.6.1? Built for 64-bit?

If you're reasonably confident that the build will work, you can bypass
the test. Not recommended for the novice, but you're out of the novice
category by now. DBD_INFORMIX_NO_ESQLTEST.

However, if you bypass the test and then you run into problems, you need
to work out how to fix things so the test passes before trying to do
more error reporting. The rest of the build assumes that ESQL/C will
work - with the various hacks introduced by esqlcc, esqlld, etc - and if
it won't, then there are problems.

Most likely, copying the esql script and hacking it along the lines of
the 64-bit AIX hack will end up doing the trick.

I'll install a 64-bit CSDK on my Sparc sometime - and build a 64-bit
Perl, too - but I don't recall major problems...
