When you install OpenEdge, the installation program prepares the software environment. In the UNIX software environment, OpenEdge uses the buildenv script to maintain environment variables.
The OEBuild utility script calls the buildenv.sh script. The buildenv.sh script sets default values for environment variables that point to objects, libraries, and options involved in linking executables. You can edit this script to customize environments for different sites.
The OEBuild script has the following software and environment requirements:
Building the executable on the same platform on which it is to be run.
Installing a linker on your system. The PATH environment variable contains the path to the C++ compiler and the linker.
Setting OpenEdge environment variables. Set DLC to the directory where you have installed OpenEdge.
Including appropriate environment variable settings for your system in the buildenv.sh script, which is located in the $DLC/oebuild/make directory.
