Compiling and linking a program v17

The EDB Open Client Library allows applications written using the Oracle Call Interface API to connect to and access an EDB database with minimal changes to the C source code. The EDB Open Client Library files are named:

• On Linux: libedboci.so

• On Windows: edboci.dll

The files are installed in the oci/lib subdirectory.

Compiling and linking a sample program

This example compiles and links the sample program edb_demo.c in a Linux environment. The edb_demo.c file is located in the oci/samples subdirectory.

1. Set ORACLE_HOME to the complete pathname of the Oracle home directory, for example:

   export ORACLE_HOME=/usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server

2. Set EDB_HOME to the complete pathname of the home directory, for example:

   export EDB_HOME=/usr/edb

3. Set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to the complete path of libpthread.so. By default, libpthread.so is located in /lib64.

   export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/lib64/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

4. Set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to include the EDB Postgres Advanced Server Open Client library. By default, libedboci.so is located in $EDB_HOME/oci/lib.

   export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$EDB_HOME/oci:$EDB_HOME/oci/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

5. Compile and link the OCL API program:

   → WrapCopy

   cd $EDB_HOME/oci/samples
   make
