Linking libraries

 

The following lists the libraries that we need.

• You need to link your programs with the appropriate library provided by WebSphere MQ.

  In a non-threaded environment, link to one of the following libraries:

  Library file	Program/exit type
  libmqm.so	Server for C
  libmqic.so	Client for C

  In a threaded environment, link to one of the following libraries:

  Library file	Program/exit type
  libmqm_r.so	Server for C
  libmqic_r.so	Client for C

  1. If you are writing an installable service (see the WebSphere MQ System Administration Guide for further information), we need to link to the libmqmzf.so library.

  2. If you are producing an application for external coordination by an XA-compliant transaction manager such as IBM TXSeries Encina, or BEA Tuxedo, we need to link to the libmqmxa.so (or libmqmxa64.so if your transaction manager treats the 'long' type as 64-bit) and libmqz.so libraries in a non-threaded application and to the libmqmxa_r.so (or libmqmxa64_r.so) and libmqz_r.so libraries in a threaded application.

  3. You must link WebSphere MQ libraries before any other product libraries.
