Thread: error in makefile when compile C program

I have a makefile

Code:

MQLIB =   -L${MQM_HOME}/ -lmqmcs -lmqmzse
MYLIB = -L${ONLINE_HOME}/src/ -lmqm
#ORALIB = -L${ORACLE_HOME}/lib32/ -lclntsh
ORALIB = -L${ORACLE_HOME}/lib/ -lclntsh

ALLLIB     =     $(MQLIB) \
                 $(ORALIB) \
                 $(MYLIB) \
                -lsocket -lnsl -ldl
CFLAGS     =    -g \
                $(ALLINCL)

When I try to compile program, it say:

Code:

Linking /applications/dte/bin/fin2ici
        /usr/vacpp/bin/cc -DMQ_SEND  /applications/dte/src/dte_mq.o  /applications/dte/src/fin2ici.o  -o  /applications/dte/bin/fin2ici -L/usr/mqm/ -lmqmcs -lmqmzse  -L/data/oracle/product/11.2.0.4.7/lib/ -lclntsh  -L/applications/dte/src/ -lmqm  -lsocket -lnsl -ldl
ld: 0706-006 Cannot find or open library file: -l socket
        ld:open(): No such file or directory
make: The error code from the last command is 255.

Stop.

I addition when I type

Code:

which socket

it says:

Code:

 which socket
no socket in /export/applications/ibm6000/CPAN/64-5.8.8-vac8-aix5.3/bin /usr/bin /usr/sbin /etc /usr/java14_64/bin /applications/dte/sh /applications/dte/bin /usr/vacpp/bin /export/applications/ibm6000/subversion/bin /export/applications/ibm6000/gnu/bin /usr/lpp/mqm/samp/bin /usr/local/bin /db/pub/infra/GNUgcc/3.2.2/bin /home/dteprod/bin /data/oracle/product/11.2.0.4.7/bin /db/pub/infra/SYBSclnt/12.5/OCS-12_5/bin /applications/dte/java/tools/apache-ant-1.7.0/bin /applications/dte/java/tools/axis-1_4/bin

where is my mistake?
Thanks

which looks for commands, so it won't find a library file.

Does your program compile if you leave out the -lsocket ?

What is the error?

You may need to ask a local expert. Look at those undefined symbols: open, close, exec, ...

As far as I know, the socket functions should be in the standard C library (libc.a), as mentioned here: socket. So you shouldn't have to link to another library for those.
