how to create the library files in jBASE4.0 NT?

Hi All,

To create library files,

In jBASE4.0 UNIX, we all know that we can use jbc and jBuildSLib command as follows

-->jbc -c MyRoutine.b -o MyRoutine.o
-->jBuildSLib -o libMyLib MyRoutine.o

Copy the library files into jBASE library path and we can link into any jBASE program as follows

-->jbc -c MyProgram.b -L/usr/jbc/lib -lMyLib -o MyProgram

In jBASE4.0 NT, do any one know how to create the library files?

Hi Malai,

I am also trying the same and got some thing new.

This is my subroutine, which I need to create the library

File . , Record 'ADD.NUM.b'
Command->
001 SUBROUTINE ADD.NUM.b
002 PRINT 'HELLO IAM INSIDE SUBROUITNE'
003 RETURN
004 END

Compilation

-->jbc -c ADD.NUM.b

ADD.NUM.o created successfully. I think it should be .obj, but in my machine it created as .o itself.

Creating Library

-->jBuildSLib -o libMyLib ADD.NUM.o

These are the files created.
libMyLib.def
libMyLib.dll
libMyLib.exp
libMyLib.lib

I copied all these files into C:JBASE40lib

This is my program, which uses the above subroutine

File . , Record 'MY.PROGRAM.b'
Command->
001 PROGRAM MY.PROGRAM.b
002 CALL ADD.NUM
003 STOP

Compilation

-->jbc -c MY.PROGRAM.b -LC:JBASE40lib -lmylib

out.exe file created successfully. But when I tried to execute it throws SUBROUTINE_CALL_FAIL error

-->out.exe
** Error [ SUBROUTINE_CALL_FAIL ] **
Unable to perform CALL to subroutine ADD.NUM , Line 2 , Source MY.PROGRAM.b
Press C to continue or Q to quit
Trap from an error message, error message name = SUBROUTINE_CALL_FAIL
Source changed to .MY.PROGRAM.b
0002 CALL ADD.NUM

Hi,

The same above steps is working perfectly on UNIX,
but y not working on windows. Its really strange one.

Lets try to do more research on this.

Yes, I got it...

Here it goes....

Subroutine 1 (ADD_NUM.b)

SUBROUTINE ADD_NUM(N1,N2)
N3 = N1 + N2
PRINT N3
RETURN
END

Subroutine 2 (MUL_NUM.b)

SUBROUTINE MUL_NUM(N1,N2)
N3 = N1 * N2
PRINT N3
RETURN
END

Compilation

-->jbc -c ADD_NUM.b
-->jbc -c MUL_NUM.b

Once the compiation is success you can able to see 2 object files ADD_NUM.o and MUL_NUM.o

Archive the objects

-->ar rv myArchive.lib ADD_NUM.o
-->ar rv myArchive.lib MUL_NUM.o

Creating Libraries

-->jBuildSLib -o libMyLib myArchive.lib

Once this is success you can able to see the following files
libMyLib.def, libMyLib.dll,libMyLib.explibMyLib.lib

Move all the above files to jBASE library path (C:JBASE40lib)

Main Line Program

PROGRAM MAIN
CALL ADD_NUM(10,20)
CALL MUL_NUM(20,20)
STOP

Compile the Program

-->jbc MAIN.b -o MAIN

Execute the Program

-->MAIN
30
400

Thats All !!!
