INFORMIXC environment variable (UNIX)
The INFORMIXC environment variable specifies the filename or pathname of the C compiler to be used to compile files that HCL OneDB™ ESQL/C generates. The setting takes effect only during the C compilation stage.
If INFORMIXC is
not set, the default compiler on most systems is cc.
Tip: On Windows™, you
pass either -mcc or -bcc options
to the esql preprocessor to use either the Microsoft™ or Borland C compilers.
setenvINFORMIXC
{
compiler
| pathname
}
- compiler
- The file name of the C compiler.
- pathname
- The full path name of the C compiler.
For example, to specify the GNU C compiler, enter
the following command:
setenv INFORMIXC gccImportant: If you use gcc, be aware that the database
server assumes that strings are writable, so you must compile by using
the -fwritable-strings option. Failure to do so can
produce unpredictable results, possibly including core dumps.
