Creating a Linux Client Application

---

This section lists the steps required to build an application based on the Pervasive Linux client.

Required Files

This section lists required files to develop applications using the Btrieve, ODBC, and DTI interfaces.

Btrieve

You need the following files for Btrieve applications:

Header Files

• btrapi.h
• btrconst.h
• btitypes.h

Requester Files

• libpsqlmif.so.8
• libencapi.so.8
• libpscore.so.1
• libpscl.so.1
• libpsqlnsl.so.8

The following are resource bundles and need to be registered with the psregsvr utility.

• libclientrb.so.8
• libpsutilrb.so.1
• libpsqlcsm.so.8
• libpsqlcsp.so.8

In addition to psregsvr to register resource bundles, you will also need pvnetpass to set passwords for any servers to which you plan to connect.

ODBC

In order to develop ODBC applications you will need the following:

• libodbcci.so
• libpsqlcsm.so.8
• libpsqlcsp.so.8
• working ODBC installation.

Distributed Tuning Interface (DTI)

In order to develop DTI applications, you will need the following:

• libpsqldti.so
• libupiapirb.so.8 (must be registered with psregsvr)

Building the Application
