Linking C applications with the IBM MQ MQI client code

Having written the IBM MQ application that we want to run on the IBM MQ MQI client, we must link it to the IBM MQ MQI client code.

1. Directly, by connecting the application to a queue manager, in which case the queue manager must be on the same machine as the application.
2. To a client library file, which gives you access to queue managers on the same or on a different machine.

IBM MQ provides a client library file for each environment:

AIX

libmqic.a library for non-threaded applications, or libmqic_r.a library for threaded applications.

Linux

libmqic.so library for non-threaded applications, or libmqic_r.so library for threaded applications.

IBM i

Bind client application with LIBMQIC client service program for non-threaded applications, or LIBMQIC_R service program for threaded applications.

Windows

MQIC32.LIB.
