Field Technical Bulletin 191

FTB NO:    FTB191
DATE: 3rd March 1998
SUBJECT: Error in unigen GsharpWE

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION

If you relink the GsharpWE using unigen GsharpWE then GsharpWE is rebuilt using dynamic libraries. It must be built with static libraries so that it can run without LD_LIBRARY_PATH being set.

N.B. You only need to relink GsharpWE if you are installing new patches or linking in some code to access a database.

CORRECTIVE ACTION

Edit the GsharpWE entry at the bottom of $UNIDIR/bin/Makefile so that is looks like this:

GsharpWE: $(UNIDIR)/lib/Gserver.o $(UNIDIR)/lib/CGIParse.o $(GWE_LIBS) $(AGX_LIBS) $(TIFF_LIBS) $(JPEG_LIBS) $(PNG_LIBS) $(Z_LIBS)
        @rm -f $(UNIDIR)/bin/$@
        @make -f $(MAKEFILE) PROGRAM=$(UNIDIR)/bin/$@ \
                "APP_LIBS=$(STATIC_LDFLAG) -lgsh $(ORALIBS) $(MSG_LIBS)" \
                "EXTRA_LIBS=$(STATIC_LDFLAG) -ltiff -ljpeg -lpng -lz" \
                "OBJS=$(UNIDIR)/lib/Gserver.o $(UNIDIR)/lib/CGIParse.o"

N.B. IRIX 5.3 will always link to a dynamic library if it exists. The only solution is to temporarily rename the static libraries whilst linking GsharpWE.
