Building Executables on the UNIX Client

This section contains instructions for building client executables. To run the PROBUILD utility and generate the link script for the client executable, follow these steps:

  1. Set up the PROBUILD environment as described in the “PROBUILD and the DataServer” section.
  2. Enter $DLC/probuild/eucapp/probuild at the system prompt. The Progress End User Configuration screen appears.
  3. Enter the directory where you want to put the link script (and ultimately, the executable for the client). The default is your current directory. If you leave the Install Link Script Field empty, the utility places the link script in your current directory.
  4. Choose Continue. The PRODUCT LIST appears.
  5. Select PROGRESS CLIENT, and choose Continue. The LINK SCRIPT/EXECUTABLE NAMES screen appears.
  6. Type names for the link script and the executable.
  7. The default link script name for the UNIX client is ldpro. The default executable name is _progres. Progress Software recommends that you do not use the default names for custom executables.

  8. Choose Continue. The CONFIGURABLE ELEMENTS screen appears.
  9. If you are building a client that includes the local DataServer, select ORACLE DATASERVER.
  10. If you are building a client to access a remote DataServer, select REMOTE ORACLE DATASERVER.

    You can include other elements from this list to further customize your Progress client module.

  11. Choose Continue to return to the product list.
  12. Choose Return, then choose Exit to exit PROBUILD.

PROBUILD builds a link script that you then run to create a customized Progress executable that references the ORACLE libraries for the DataServer.

Next, if you are building a local DataServer, set the DataServer environment variables and run the link script to create the Progress client executable. See the "Setting Environment Variables" and "Linking DataServer Executables" sections.

If you are building a client to access a remote DataServer, set client DataServer environment variables and run the link script to create the client executable, then set up the host modules for your configuration. See the "Building Executables on the UNIX Host" section.
