sqlcmd.86 on ubuntu 9.10 64 bit

Hi,

Error messages when try to make sqlcmd-86.00 on ubuntu 9.10 x86-64
and IDS 11.50.FC6WE:

STEP 1
wget ftp://ftp.iiug.org/pub/informix/pub/sqlcmd-86.00.tgz
tar -xvzf sqlcmd-86.00.tgz
cd sqlcmd-86.00

STEP 2:
CC="gcc -m64" ./configure
.... [ok]

STEP 3:
make
....
INFORMIXC="gcc -m64" esql -DESQLC_VERSION=350 -I.
-I/opt/informix/incl/esql -O -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -g -O2 -c appblob.ec
In file included from appblob.ec:29:
jlss.h:45: error: conflicting types for 'getline'
/usr/include/stdio.h:651: note: previous declaration of 'getline' was here
make: *** [appblob.o] Fehler 1


Any ideas are appreciated.

Thanks,

Holger de Wall

Linux should not define functions called getline() without my
permission. Especially not ones with a different interface or semantics
to the version I defined a long time ago.

Unfortunately, POSIX also seems to have got in on the act of annoying
authors who thought they could define functions with names of their own
choosing. There's a getline() in POSIX 2008. So, I guess I'm gonna
have to try and find a name that means the same thing but doesn't run
foul of other people's ideas. In the interim, you can edit the source
to use some other name - like, perhaps, jlss_getline().

You need to edit:

* getline.c
* jlss.h
* readload.c
* sqlconn.ec

Have fun.
