Libraries

There is an installation procedure that installs libraries for UNIX™ and Windows™.

UNIX

The installation procedure installs the following libraries into INFORMIXDIR/lib/cli. In each data source specification section in the odbc.ini file, set the driver value indicating the full path to one of the following library file names.

libifcli.a or libcli.a: Static version for single (nonthreaded) library
libifcli.so or iclis09b.so: Shared version for single (nonthreaded) library
libthcli.a: Static version for multithreaded library
libthcli.so or iclit09b.so: Shared version for multithreaded library
libifdrm.so or idmrs09a.so: Shared library for DMR (thread safe)

If you do not use a driver manager, your application needs to link to either the static or the shared version of the HCL OneDB™ ODBC Driver libraries.

The following compile command links an application to the thread-safe version of the HCL OneDB ODBC Driver libraries:

cc ... -L$INFORMIXDIR/lib/cli -lifdmr - lthcli

Windows

The installation procedure installs the following libraries into INFORMIXDIR\lib.

iclit09b.lib: Enables linking directly to the driver without the use of a driver manager
iregt07b.lib: Allows linking directly to iregt07b.dll

The following compile command links an application to the thread-safe version of the HCL OneDB ODBC Driver libraries:

cl ... -L$INFORMIXDIR/lib/cli iclit09b.lib

If you use a driver manager, you must link your application to the driver manager library only, as the following example shows:

cl odbc32.lib
