Buildexternal phenomenon(a)

[Erik Hurworth]

To save messing around with all this hdr/share stuff, it is often a good 
idea to test using the disk version of Quick, not the installed version.

Run BUILDEXTERNAL to create your QKDRIVER.EXE, do not run the INSTALL 
utility on it.

Set up a symbol to point to the disk image of QUICK...
QUICK=="PH_LOCATION:QUICK<version>.EXE;"

Note the ; after EXE. When you run the QUICK symbol, it now runs the disk 
image so doesn't try to find an Installed version of QKDRIVER

Once you have it all working by running the disk versions of QUICK and 
QKDRIVER, then run the tasks to install the images,

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!
