oracle database connection
Hi, I have been doing some investigation to connecting an Oracle 8.1 database with a C application. I've installed cygwin with gcc3.3.1 and want to use OCI to connect to my local Oracle database on a Windows 2000 machine.
Unfortunately, I'm having some trouble compiling the sample programs that come with oracle installation:
gcc oci02.c -I c:/oracle/ora81/oci/include -o oci02
The errors are:
/cygdrive/c/DOCUME~1/ADMIN/LOCALS~1/Temp/ccDmHAES.o(.text+0x26f):oci02.c: undefined reference to `_oopen'
/cygdrive/c/DOCUME~1/ADMIN/LOCALS~1/Temp/ccDmHAES.o(.text+0x2b8):oci02.c: undefined reference to `_oparse'

I'm not sure if I'm going down the correct path to connect C with Oracle. I want to ask anyone with experience for some advice on Oracle database connection in C.
Thanks.
