Issuing Separate Commands for Precompiling, Compiling, and Linking

Alternatively, the following sequence of commands generates the same executable and illustrates how you can combine options and commands:

esqlc +T rep1.pc

cc -c rep1.c

esqlc +T rep2.pc

cc -c rep2.c

esqlc -o report rep1.o rep2.o

• The esql +T commands specify a single embedded SQL source file. The +T precompiler option generates the C source code but suppresses automatic invocation of the C compiler.
• The cc -c commands explicitly invoke the C compiler and specify the C source-code file from the corresponding esql +T command. The -c compiler option generates an object file but suppresses linking.
• Finally, the esql -o command specifies both the object files generated by the preceding cc -c commands. It does not actually invoke the precompiler, but passes the object files to the C compiler. The -o option is a C compiler option that names the executable.
