I am running an Oracle 7 server on my FreeBSD box. I got it
running using the SCO (ibcs2) emulation. It works great when I'm
logged into the machine locally and run sqlplus (or oci applications).
The problem arises when I try to use Oracle remotely (like from
access using an Oracle 7 driver on my PC). This requires that I have
a program called 'tnslsnr' running. I need to have the listener use
the TCP protocol. I can't link in the protocol because all of the
libraries are SCO and all the object files are SCO. GCC doesn't like
that a whole lot.
The libraries aren't a big deal. I partially re-wrote the ar
command so that it extracts the objects from the SCO libraries. I
then re-create a BSD-format library, ranlib it, and it works great.
The main problem is the object files. I have tried to find a way
to get gcc to link object files to create an executable with no
results. I think they are in ELF format. Is this true (maybe COFF)?
I don't know a whole lot about SCO...
Do I have to re-compile gcc for SCO? Is there a way to compile it
so that it will accept SCO objects and create BSD binaries (accecpt
one object file type and create a different a.out type)?
I would MUCH rather just convert the object files and create BSD
binaries. You see, the oracle server and alot of the other binaries
can be 're-linked' with other options. The object files (and
libraries) are all available to do this. All I have to do is find out
'how.'
Can you point me in the right direction?
