Someone on StackOverflow asked “How to compile a C program without knowing the include files”.
JasonE gave a really good answer, so I thought I would repeat it here:
To compile and link 64-bit MQ applications on Linux, follow the instructions here
To compile and link 32-bit MQ applications on Linux, follow the instructions here
In summary:
-I is for the product includes, which are (For Linux) usually in /opt/mqm/inc
-L is the path to the libraries in your example which are (For Linux) usually in /opt/mqm/lib (for 32 bit applications) and /opt/mqm/lib64 (for 64 bit applications)
-l (lower case L) is for the required library/libraries
and the actual library you need is either:
mqm – server bound C applications (ie -lmqm, which links with libmqm.so)
mqic – client bound C applications (ie -lmqic, which links with libmqic.so)
and a suffix of _r if you are building as a threaded application (ie you are linking with -lpthread as well, ie providing -lmqm_r or -lmqic_r which in effect links with libmqm_r.so or libmqic.so)
cmqc.h is the name of the main header file, and there are other cmq*.h headers you can optionally include as well.
