Building 32bit shared library on 64bit HP-UX 11.0

[Amod Kumbhar]

On HP-UX 11.0, we are trying to call external c routine from Oracle PL/SQL
(Oracle 9i - Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.1.0 - 64bit)

For this we are trying to make 32 bit shared library (HPUX 11.0 - 64 bit)
using demo_rdbms32.mk file supplied by oracle. (Reason for going for 32 bit
is that our rest of the application is 32 bit although HP-UX machine is 64 bit)

Should be use any specific switches for building 32 bit shared libraries on
64-bit machine. Request you to advice on this.

Below mentioned are steps which we followed.
----------------------------------------

make -f demo_rdbms32.mk extproc_with_context
SHARED_LIBNAME=exception.sl OBJS="exception.o elimspace.o get_symbol.o ipc.o
secmisc2.o getmbxkey.o secmisc.o secmisc3.o"

IT GIVES ME FOLLOWING ERROR

ld -G /data/app/oracle/product/Oracle9i/lib/libclntsh.sl -b
-L/data/app/oracle/product/Oracle9i/lib
-L/data/app/oracle/product/Oracle9i/lib/
-L/data/app/oracle/product/Oracle9i/rdbms/lib/ -o exception.sl exception.o
elimspace.o get_symbol.o ipc.o secmisc2.o getmbxkey.o secmisc.o secmisc3.o
/data/app/oracle/product/Oracle9i/lib/libpls9.a -lclntsh `cat
/data/app/oracle/product/Oracle9i/lib/sysliblist` -lm
ld: Mismatched ABI (not an ELF file) for exception.o
Fatal error.
*** Error exit code 1

Stop.

Thanks in advance

You can use the file command to determine the bit of the library:
# file /data/app/oracle/product/Oracle9i/lib/libpls9.a

A 32 bit library might say:
archive file -PA-RISC1.1 relocatable library

A 64 bit library might say:
ELF-64 shared object file - PA-RISC 2.0 (LP64)


If trying to build the program for 32 bit, make sure the Oracle libraries involved are all 32 bit.

Thanks for your reply. Oracle9i product on HP-UX is 64-bit. However Oracle allows you to build 32-bit as well as 64-bit applications as they have provided both set of libraries.

Our requirement is that our HP-UX is 64-bit, Oracle9i is 64-bit but our application and dependant programs are 32-bit. Hence we want to build 32bit shared library. We have already modified paths to include Oracle9i's 32bit libraries.

For your reference I am attaching values of LD_LIBRARY_PATH,SHLIB_PATH and PATH environmental variables

hpawls:oracle:/home/oracle/templib/userexit32> echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
/opt/java1.3/lib:/opt/java1.3/lib/tools.jar:/opt/java1.3/jre/lib/PA_RISC2.0:/opt/netscape/java/classes:/opt/netscape/java/classes/java40.jar:/usr/lib:/data/app/oracle/product/Oracle9i/lib32

hpawls:oracle:/home/oracle/templib/userexit32> echo $PATH
/usr/bin:/opt/ansic/bin:/usr/ccs/bin:/usr/contrib/bin:/opt/nettladm/bin:/opt/fc/bin:/opt/fcms/bin:/opt/upgrade/bin:/opt/pd/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/contrib/bin/X11:/opt/perf/bin://opt/perl/bin:/opt/resmon/bin:/usr/sbin/diag/contrib:/opt/pred/bin:/opt/hparray/bin:/opt/ignite/bin:/opt/langtools/bin:/opt/java1.3/bin:/opt/netscape:.:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:.:/usr/sbin:/etc:/data/app/oracle/product/Oracle9i/bin:/bin:/usr/ccs/bin

hpawls:oracle:/home/oracle/templib/userexit32> echo $SHLIB_PATH
/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib:/data/app/oracle/product/Oracle9i/precomp/lib32:/data/app/oracle/product/Oracle9i/lib32:/data/app/oracle/product/Oracle9i/rdbms/lib32:/data/app/oracle/product/Oracle9i/lib32

Please let me know your comments on this.

Thanks

Hi,If you are still getting the error message:
ld: Mismatched ABI ...
then Cheryl's reply still applies.

The environment-variables LD_LIBRARY_PATH, PATH and
SHLIB_PATH may be important when you run a program, but not
when you compile/link.

The cause of the error-message is that you are trying to link
a mix of 64-bit and 32-bit objects.

You have some -L/data/app... in your ld command.
Is this the correct path to where the 32-bit versions of the
oracle libs are found?

Olav
