To meet your needs, we constantly work to improve Querix products.
This means that Lycia documentation is developing as well.

Thank you for your attention and cooperation.
Along with other components, Lycia Development Suite comprises Lycia Command Line tool.
On Windows the Lycia command line environment can be invoked by going to Start -> Querix -> Lycia 3 Development Suite 7.1 -> Lycia Command Line:
On Unix, prior to start working with the command line tool, the corresponding environment must be set. This can be done as follows:
cd <directory where Lycia is installed>
. ./environ
Make sure there is the space between the first "." and the second "."
Lycia allows several types of the command line tools invocation, they are as follows:
tools for running and compilation 4GL source files and applications: qbuild, qexpt, qfgl, qform, qlink, qmsg and 4make
the auxiliary tools which are used to compile and link C files: esqlc, qxcc and qxld. Actually these are not tools but labels launching the C compiler. On Windows they launch Microsoft Visual Studio and on UNIX/Linux they run gcc. The qxcc command is used to compile files and the qxld command is used to link them. The esqlc command is used to compile the C files with embedded SQL code
the tool for the database schema exporting: qexpt
