Buildexternal phenomenon(a)

[Lorry Litman]

Hi John, after you did the build did you replace the image? Checkout the
vms Install command and then you may just need to do
replace/header/share qkdriver. Haven't done this in a while so not 100%
sure. Thanx Lorry

Dear Listers:

 

Does anybody have experience with or can anyone out there give me some
idea as to what kind of parameters / combination of same I need to do a
buildexternal correctly in OpenVMS? To construct a SHAREAble subroutine
from Quick?


I have successfully created, compiled, BUILDEXTERNAL /NOSHARE and
executed a Quick screen calling a C subroutine. Whopee! Haven't done
that in a dog's age. C is 10 years ago....

However, (HOWEVER), when I attempt to build a /SHARE-able copy of the 
subroutine (for performance - no spawn) using buildexternal and its
myriad 
of combinations, permutations and etrc. parameters per the Qdesign
manual, 
it patently doesn't work. 

The PHEXE works like the proverbial charm, but the .EXE does not. Quick
just skips over the "do external" statement (put debug into the C
routine - and it's not called)...I have 
tried 25 different ways from Sunday but the resulting .EXE just seems to

be ignored by the Quick program and merrily (demonstrably) does the
square 
root of zero in the "do external" construct.

Anybody have ideas?

 

Thanks!
