ProC and other C file compilation problem on AIX

[amitsinghal]

I am linking my compiled proC file with other C files and getting following error.

ld: 0711-711 ERROR: Input file /opt/orabase/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/lib/libirc.a is empty.
The file is being ignored.

I used following command to compile my proC code.

proc iname=dbConnect .pc code=ANSI_C parse=none

Now I am linking the generated C file with other C files like this :

set LIBPATH=/opt/orabase/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/lib

/usr/vac/bin/xlc -o echo_client echo_client.c dbConnect.c -lpthread -L /opt/orabase/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/lib -lclntsh -ldl -lm -lpthread -lnsl -lirc


Now getting this error:

echo_client.c:
dbConnect.c:
ld: 0711-711 ERROR: Input file /opt/orabase/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/lib/libirc.a is empty.
The file is being ignored.

Well, that libirc.a library/archive is most certainly empty (as your linker told you). What should be in it?

kind regards,
