Compiling data-conversion exits on UNIX and Linux systems

Examples of how to compile a data conversion exit on UNIX and Linux systems.

On all platforms, the entry point to the module is MQStart.

MQ_INSTALLATION_PATH represents the high-level directory in which IBM MQ is installed.


AIX

Compile the exit source code by issuing one of the following commands:

    32 bit applications
    Non-threaded 
    cc -e MQStart -bE:MYFORMAT.exp -bM:SRE -o /var/mqm/exits/MYFORMAT \
     MYFORMAT.c -I  MQ_INSTALLATION_PATH/inc
    Threaded 
    xlc_r -e MQStart -bE:MYFORMAT.exp -bM:SRE -o /var/mqm/exits/MYFORMAT_r \
     MYFORMAT.c -I  MQ_INSTALLATION_PATH/inc

    64 bit applications
    Non-threaded 
    cc -q64 -e MQStart -bE:MYFORMAT.exp -bM:SRE -o /var/mqm/exits64/MYFORMAT \
     MYFORMAT.c -I MQ_INSTALLATION_PATH/inc
    Threaded 
    xlc_r -q64 -e MQStart -bE:MYFORMAT.exp -bM:SRE -o /var/mqm/exits64/MYFORMAT_r \
     MYFORMAT.c -I  MQ_INSTALLATION_PATH/inc


Linux

Compile the exit source code by issuing one of the following commands:

    31 bit applications
    Non-threaded 
     gcc -m31 -shared -fPIC -o /var/mqm/exits/MYFORMAT MYFORMAT.c \
      -I  MQ_INSTALLATION_PATH/inc
    Threaded 
    gcc -m31 -shared -fPIC -o /var/mqm/exits/MYFORMAT_r MYFORMAT.c
     -I  MQ_INSTALLATION_PATH/inc

    32 bit applications
    Non-threaded 
     gcc -m32 -shared -fPIC -o /var/mqm/exits/MYFORMAT MYFORMAT.c
      -I  MQ_INSTALLATION_PATH/inc
    Threaded 
    gcc -m32 -shared -fPIC -o /var/mqm/exits/MYFORMAT_r MYFORMAT.c
     -I  MQ_INSTALLATION_PATH/inc

    64 bit applications
    Non-threaded 
     gcc -m64 -shared -fPIC -o /var/mqm/exits64/MYFORMAT MYFORMAT.c
      -I  MQ_INSTALLATION_PATH/inc
    Threaded 
     gcc -m64 -shared -fPIC -o /var/mqm/exits64/MYFORMAT_r MYFORMAT.c
      -I  MQ_INSTALLATION_PATH/inc
