README for the HP Neoview UNIX Drivers (Upd6 R2.2)

• For information on the necessary data source configuration options, you will need to add

to the respective configuration files (odbc.ini). For more information, see the Neoview ODBC

Drivers Manual at docs.hp.com: http://docs.hp.com/en/busintellsol.html.

Running the Sample Program

Note: the examples after each step assume that you have default installation directories.

If you have a previous version of the hpodbc driver installed, you need to relink your existing

application to ensure that you pick up the correct version of the driver. If you are unsure of the

version, check the version of your application with this command:

ldd <object file>

1. Move to the directory where you installed the sample program:

cd /etc/hpodbc/sample

2. Compile the sample program.

Note: All drivers are 32-bit drivers; therefore, applications need to be compiled accordingly.

• On Linux:

gcc connect_test.cpp -L/usr/lib -I/usr/include/hpodbc \

-lhpodbc -o connect_test

Note: The Linux driver is a 32-bit driver. If you are using an x86–64 machine, you need

to explicitly compile your appplication as a 32-bit application. For example:

gcc connect_test.cpp -m32 -L/usr/lib \

-I/usr/include/hpodbc -lhpodbc -o connect_test

• On HP-UX (IA-64):

aCC -AA connect_test.cpp -L/usr/lib -I/usr/include/hpodbc \

-lhpodbc -o connect_test -lm

To use cc for compiling and linking:

— Rename connect_test.cpp to connect_test.c.

— Run this command:

cc connect_test.c –I/usr/include/hpodbc –L/usr/lib –lstd_v2

-lCsup -lunwind -lm -lhpodbc -o connect_test

• On HP-UX (PA-RISC):

aCC -AA connect_test.cpp -L/usr/lib -I/usr/include/hpodbc \

-lhpodbc -lhppa -o connect_test -lm

To use cc for compiling and linking:

— Rename connect_test.cpp to connect_test.c.

— Run this command:

cc connect_test.c –L/usr/lib –I/usr/include/hpodbc \

-lhppa -lstd_v2 -lCsup_v2 -lm -lhpodbc -o connect_test

3. If needed, modify the /etc/hpodbc/MXODSN file.

4. Run the sample program:

./connect_test -d <datasource> -u <userid> -p <password>
