Problems compiling C process on Oracle 10g(HP_UX)

[Shayla Waters]

Trying to upgrade to oracle 10g from 9i and get the following errors. Could some one point me in the right direction?

The right direction would be to talk to Oracle about their broken preprocessor.
__va_list__ is a new builtin type for IPF and this needs to be added to Oracle's reserved list of types. I've seen this before so Oracle should have a solution by now?
Possibly a config file change?

[TwoProc]

First look in all directories - searching for the va_list string, especially in the .h files. If you find it, and it's the definition that you need, just add it to the include list at the top of .c you're compiling. Remember that .h file could be in a vast array of places in the Oracle_HOME.

Also, your distribution might have the "symfind" oracle tool that will look around in the Oracle_HOME assets and identify all files that have that symbol defined, both .o files and .a files. You may have to add them to the link list if you've been lucky enough to find the .h file for the first part.

>TwoProc: First look in all directories - searching for the va_list string,

I'm not sure if you saw my answer first but you can't find something that's built into the compiler. Oracle's preprocessor must be fixed or a configuration file must be edited.

[Shayla Waters]

Hi Dennis,
Thanks for your reply! I have a follow up question though, what exactly do i need to add to my config file?

[Dennis Handly]

>what exactly do i need to add to my config file?

Sorry I have no clue. You need to talk to Oracle because there must be some solution that allows this to work on Integrity.

[Shayla Waters]

Found the following on metalink
There has been minor changes to stdio.h on HP-UX 11i, causing ProC to not
find the necessary typedef for va_list. This results in an error message and
Pro*C complains that va_list is not a a known type.
I had to edit the pcscfg.cfg i added the following line:
define=_PA_RISC2_0
and after recompiling the files under the general folder I was able to get the file to compile with no errors

Thanks for all your replys

[Dennis Handly]

>I had to edit the pcscfg.cfg I added the following line: define=_PA_RISC2_0

This isn't going to make the code work if you actually use va_list.

[Shayla Waters]

Will also adding this line fix the problem
define=__STDC__

[Dennis Handly]

>Will also adding this line fix the problem?
define=__STDC__

I don't see how. That won't change the __va_list__ types.
