How to run a C++ module in Unix system

Hi,

How to create a module using C++ code which can be executed automatically in Unix.

Like we have a Jar in JAVA which contains set of Java classes and which make it possible to run automatically using 'ant', is there anything available with C++ also ?

Scenario
-----------
We have a requirement to write some code in C++ which can read/write from Oracle Database and can be scheduled to run automatically in Unix. I want to know how to create a module and wht type it should be either .so or .exe or just simple .obj file. The module is actually divided into a list of around 10 classes

Eh... just create a normal executable program? Considering that this is Unix, you might not name the file with an extension at all.

.obj files cannot be executed as is.
.so files are libraries (similar like .dll files on Windows) and can also not be executed as is.

You need an executable, not a module.
An executable in Unix normally does not have any extensions. Your C++ code will be compiled by your compiler in object files, .obj which will then be linked by your C++ linker to an executable without any extensions.

For example, you could use gcc as follows to compile test.cpp:

Code:

---

# gcc test.cpp -o test

---

which compiles test.cpp to test. You can then run test as follows "./test".

Hi, Thanks for your clarification.

We have requirement in our project to create a WEB-Application and we need to use an existing C++ code, which as you said is an EXE, which will load a vast amount of user profile data from an FTP server, which will then create a Dummy database with all user data, this database will be specifically used for my application.

Now my question is, which language should i use for desiging WEB-UI part, like JSP/PHP/ASP so that it should be compatible to use the existing C++ code.

Also pls let me know the standard way of creating WEB Applications using C++ in UNIX platform, i mean where can we use C++ and for which creating which layer(Controller/Loader/UserInterface) should i use it, and Which Language should i use for UI Layer.

Also confirm me whether it is better using JSP and JAVA than C++, for creating WEB-Applications .

Also Pls give me some sample web-application scenarios where C++ wil be used.

Pls note: this should be under unix platform.

Thanks
