errors with provided sample code

[netskink]

I was trying to do the sample code as shown in the Quick Start here

The quick start says to use this syntax to build the source file:

$ xlclang++ -I path/to/zoslib/include -L path/to/build/lib -lzoslib random.cc -o random

This failed for me. I had to do the following:

$ xlclang++ -qascii -I ~/zopen/dev/zoslib/include -L ~/zopen/dev/zoslib/lib -o random random.cc -lzoslib

With that said, that failed as well because the zopen/dev/zoslib/include/zos-getentropy.h file was different. Compare to
this
and the file on the file system.

I edited the include file so that __getentropy(...) was defined as getentropy()

Note, the zoslib README says IBM C/C++ V2.3.1, but I am using 2.4.1.

After getting to build, the result with the version string is broken.

$ ./random 2
ZOSLIB version: vMAJOR_VERSION.MINOR_VERSION.PATCH_VERSION

Also note the -qascii switch since the files in ~/zopen/dev/zoslib/ are tagged as EBCDIC.
