Compiling and linking a Pro*C application with MS Visual C++ and getting sqlcxt errors.

Hello,

I've just ported a C program from VMS to Windows 2000 and have successfully compiled it with the Pro*C compiler that comes with Oracle 9.2.0.x. My program is when I compile and link using Visual C++.... I'm receiving a couple of external reference errors regarding the second function and sqlcxt while linking.

Any ideas? Do you use a make file in Windows or is that exclusive to unix?

Thank-you kindly

Hi DwayneZandbergen,

Could you post the errors?

You have to add the Pro*C/C++ Library. The guide here might help: http://www.stanford.edu/dept/itss/docs/oracle/10g/win.101/a96111/integrat.htm

srinims

you have to include the libraries for the pro*C codes in visual c++ settings

I don't remember the exact names of the libraries, but it named like
orasql???.lib, sql90.lib...

and just exclude the libraries you are already using, if it's ported from the old ora proc codes

Please see my errors below - I will try the above suggestion as well.

Thanks,

or better to use Sleep with caps S. and you can give in milliseconds there instead of the seconds inside sleep with small s

srinims

i think you have to use _sleep inside main instead of simply sleep. or use Sleep with milliseconds

Thanks for your help - I needed to include orasql9.lib and modified the code to reference function _sleep.

Thanks again,
