env_rdbms.mk producing main conflict with libnzjs8.a
I'm trying to compile on a Sun box an application that directly interfaces with the Oracle 8i RDBMS, and in the makefile for that application, I'm including $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/lib/env
For some reason beyond me, libnzjs8.a has a main in it, which is conflicting with my application's main. When I go to the mk file and comment out the references to that library, I get linking errors from both oradb.o (the Oracle RDBMS API object file for the project, which compiled fine) and my main .o file, swmain.o. Any idea how to overcome this? The compile went fine with Oracle 7, but Oracle 8i's giving me trouble.

If you can, post your main() code here also.

Are you sure? That woudl be extremely stupid of the programmers that wrote it. Unless they needed to have the entry point for some reason, and then provide soem mechnaism by which your code can get called. If this is the case you should not have a main in your code. However, that is probably not the case.

My main is too long to post into here, but if you'd like, you can get the SQLweb executable (the previous version of it) at http://www.SQLweb.com/

Can you post the first three lines of code from your main?
