3.4.2 Compiling Applications (for Linux)

Specify the following options when compiling applications.

Table 3.1 Include file and library path
Architecture	Option	How to specify the option
32-bit	Path of the include file	-I unixOdbc32bitIncludeFileDir
32-bit	Path of the library	-L unixOdbc32bitLibraryDir
64-bit	Path of the include file	-I unixOdbc64bitIncludeFileDir
64-bit	Path of the library	-L unixOdbc64bitLibraryDir

Table 3.2 ODBC library
Type of library	Library name
Dynamic library	libodbc.so

Note

Specify -m64 when creating a 64-bit application. Specify -m32 when creating a 32-bit application.

Example

The following are examples of compiling ODBC applications:

Linux 64-bit

gcc -m64 -I/usr/local/include(*1) -L/usr/local/lib(*1) -lodbc testproc.c -o testproc

Linux 32-bit

gcc -m32 -I/usr/local/include(*1) -L/usr/local/lib(*1) -lodbc testproc.c -o testproc

*1: This is an example of building and installing from the source without specifying an installation directory for unixODBC. If you wish to specify a location, set the installation directory.
