Compiling and linking the application

The following tables list the general forms of the commands for compiling and linking Embedded SQL/COBOL applications on Sybase-supported platforms running the UNIX operating system.

Table 5-2 shows commands for compiling and linking Embedded SQL/COBOL applications using nondebug libraries.

To build a 64-bit COBOL application, make sure that the build mode for the COBOL compiler is correctly set. For example, in ESQL/COBOL, the COBMODE environment variable must be set to 32 for a 32-bit build, and to 64 for a 64-bit build. Failure to do this may result in a build error, or produce an executable with an unexpected signature on platforms that support both 32-bit and 64-bit COBOL applications. For more information about building and linking a 64-bit application, see the sybopts.sh script in SYBASE/$SYBASE_OCS/sample/esqlcob.
