Apex Socket linking

Apex Socket linking

[askeya]

Apex Ada95 question:

I have a very simple program to open a socket.  I "with"ed in
Unix_Network_Operations and the supporting specs.  The program compiles
with no problems but I get a link error because the linker can not find
"socket".  The "socket" man page says to link in -lxnet.  How can I do
this in Apex?

Model: sun4_solaris2.ada95.thread.3.0.0.rel

I know this is not an Apex group, but this is the closest I can find.

Thanx.

Add -lxnet to your NON_ADA_LINKAGE switch of the view
with the main program being linked.

You can also try using pragma Link_With in the main
programs source code.
