This section explains the steps to compile and run the ISAM C tutorial from the Linux command line/command shell.
If the FairCom Database Engine is not already running on your machine, start the server. See Setting up the FairCom Database Engine.
Compiling
To compile the ISAM C tutorial from the Linux command line, follow these steps:
drivers/c.isam/tutorials/cmdline
>make
The ISAM tutorials are ready to run.
Type 'make run' to run the tutorials.
Running
Be sure the FairCom Database Engine is running.
To run the c-tree tutorials from the Linux command line, follow these steps from the same folder you compiled from:
>make run
If you see a c-tree error, you can look it up in the Error Code Reference.
See the Troubleshooting section below for solutions to common problems.
When running, the tutorial should look similar to the text below:
INIT
Logon to server...
DEFINE
Open table...
MANAGE
Delete records...
Add records...
Display records...
1000 Bryan Williams
1001 Michael Jordan
1002 Joshua Brown
1003 Keyon Dooling
DONE
Close table...
Logout...
Press <ENTER> key to exit . . .
Note: On systems running a glibc version older than 2.17, the tutorials need to be linked with librt by adding -lrt to the SYSLIBS macro in the makefile. If you are running a system with glbic older than 2.17, edit the makefile and uncomment -lrt.
Troubleshooting
This section lists some of the errors that can occur when compiling and running these tutorials:
ERROR: Initialize(): InitISAMXtd()
isam_err = 133, isam_fil = 0, sysiocod = 0
The most common cause of this runtime error is that the FairCom Database Engine is not running. Remember that the c-tree evaluation license times out after 3 hours, so the server might have exited and needs to be re-started. See Setting up the FairCom Database Engine for details.
