Hallo Mark,

Thanks for those instructions! I started my build tries fresh and
tried to follow them. I have some annotations:

Two things here:

- I need to use -user and -password for the isql command. That becomes
a running problem in the build process. Is there a way to set that
globally which I'm not aware of?
- Why do you call that link "yachts.gdb" here? The original, which is
created by the script, is called "yachts.lnk". Maybe that's the
source of the problem you encounter below.

-user sysdba -password masterkey ?

This means that the line starting $(SH) should be commented out. Also,
especially for those not very acquainted with make, the single lines
MUST have a TAB (no spaces) at the beginning.

Formatting is not very nice here. It should actually say:

Remove all the dependancies by finding the following text:
#GDS_PYXIS=gds_pyxis.a

And change it to:
GDS_PYXIS=
#GDS_PYXIS=gds_pyxis.a

Be aware of those formatting problems in all other places.

Okay, now here is where it stops for me.

1) Why do all those gpre lines have no -user -password arguments? They
don't work for me that way.
2) I could work around by executing the first occurrence (security.e)
manually, using those parameters.
3) When I get to the second occurrence (array.e), gpre dumps core when
trying to process the file. Any ideas how that might come?
