I am building a static version of ncurses (don’t ask) and there are a couple of problems I note:
1. The xlc include search order defaults to -I/usr/include as the 1st place to search (despite what the man page for c89 says) whereas other *IX systems search the user specification first then the system. I had to add -qnosearch then the user spec then a -I/usr/include. Annoying – is there a way around this? 2. After I get a clean compilation the linker craps out with: xlc ../objects/tic.o ../objects/dump_entry.o ../objects/tparm_type.o ../objects/transform.o -O -qxplink -qdll -qxplink -qdll -qnosearch -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I../progs -I. -I../include -D_ALL_SOURCE -D_EXT -D_XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED=1 -D__VM__ -D_ISOC99_SOURCE -DEBCDIC -D_OE_SOCKETS -D_OPEN_MSGQ_EXT -D_OPEN_SYS -D_OPEN_THREADS -D_POSIX_SOURCE -D_UNIX03_SOURCE -D_UNIX03_WITHDRAWN -D_XOPEN_SOURCE=600 -DNCURSES_CONST=const -I/usr/include -O -qlanglvl=extended:extc89:extc99 -qxplink -qdll -qenum=int -qexportall -qfloat=ieee -qlongname -q32 -qseverity=e=CCN3296 -DNCURSES_STATIC -L../lib -lncurses -lncurses -o tic FSUM3008 Specify a file with the correct suffix (.c, .i, .s, .o, .x, .p, .I, or .a), or a corresponding data set name, instead of -L../lib. I change the command to get rid of the -L../lib and -l options but still have a problem at which point I am now stuck: xlc ../objects/tic.o ../objects/dump_entry.o ../objects/tparm_type.o ../objects/transform.o -O -qxplink -qdll -qxplink -qdll -qnosearch -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I../progs -I. -I../include -D_ALL_SOURCE -D_EXT -D_XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED=1 -D__VM__ -D_ISOC99_SOURCE -DEBCDIC -D_OE_SOCKETS -D_OPEN_MSGQ_EXT -D_OPEN_SYS -D_OPEN_THREADS -D_POSIX_SOURCE -D_UNIX03_SOURCE -D_UNIX03_WITHDRAWN -D_XOPEN_SOURCE=600 -DNCURSES_CONST=const -I/usr/include -O -qlanglvl=extended:extc89:extc99 -qxplink -qdll -qenum=int -qexportall -qfloat=ieee -qlongname -q32 -qseverity=e=CCN3296 -DNCURSES_STATIC ../lib/libncurses.a ../lib/libncurses.a -o tic FSUM3008 Specify a file with the correct suffix (.c, .i, .s, .o, .x, .p, .I, or .a), or a corresponding data set name, instead of -o./tic. Any advice?
