_HP_mfprocld: Unsatisfied symbols

[Mei Jiao]

Got the following error when tried to do compilation using Cobol:

# cob -xvP mfproc.cbl -L/opt/cobol/cobdir/src/sql -L/embsql/lib -lcobct -lct -lcs -ltcl -lcomn -linsck -lm -L/opt/cobol/bin -L/opt/cobol/cobdir/src/sql -L/opt/cobol/cobdir/coblib

comn_free (first referenced in /embsql/lib/libcobct.a(coboc.o)) (code)

comn_malloc (first referenced in /embsql/lib/libcobct.a(coboc.o)) (code)

May I know what went wrong? Is it due to syntax error or problem with HP Micro Focus COBOL?

Thanks!

Microfocus Cobol has different versions for 11.00 versus 11.11 and 32 bit versus 64 bit.

This looks like the 32 bit version we're using on our old D class servers, though we got it from Microfocus, not HP.

I'd start checking environment variables and the compiler license keys for corruption.

Syntax could be an issue.

What are you trying to compile? More detail would help.

a google search on comn_malloc turns up postings that suggest that these symbols may be defined in libintl.sl.

Now we used the new COBOL libraries, the command is:
cob -xvP mfproc.cbl -L/opt/cobol/cobdir/src/sql -L/sybase125/OCS-12_5_new/lib -lcobct64 -lct64 -lcs64 -ltcl64 -lcomn64 -linsck -lm -L/opt/cobol/bin -L/opt/cobol/cobdir/src/sql -L/opt/cobol/cobdir/coblib

But encounter different error message:
ld: /sybase125/OCS-12_5_new/lib/libcobct64.a: Not a valid library (invalid magic number). Possibly a 64-bit PA archive library (Mismatched ABI).

Any idea?

if you want to build a 64-bit binary, you need to pass the appropriate flag to the cobol compiler. e.g. for cc/aCC it is '+DD64' or '+DA2.0W' - i dont know what exactly it is for cobol. the manual page should have it.

if you want to build a 32-bit binary, you should include the correct libraries and library search paths in the link/compile line.
