[Openroad-users] Ingres and C in Visual Studio 8

[Fabian Anderson]

Hi Colin,
	A few things, you need to make sure you have the library search
paths for ALL externally resolved references (not just the Ingres ones).
You need to pre-compile the sc code before compiling (that is why it is
called a pre-compiler).  Visual Studio has a project option for adding
compiler pre-processing.

However, your problems are probably because you are compiling as C++ and
linking to C libraries.  Let me know if you don't know how to link to C
from C++.

Cheers,
Fabian.

Two questions to the VS / C community ....

How do you get Visual Studio 8 to recognise and pre-compile ESQLC code ?

e.g. run esqlc <file>.sc THEN compile and link

Currently I'm precompiling in DOS then using VS 8 to compile the
resulting .c file
Which works fine but surely there is a better way ?



Secondly, how do you link an ESQLC program when it has compiled OK in VS
8 ?

I'm getting errors such as these when it tries to resolve EXEC SQL OPEN
....

error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _IIcsOpen

I have C:\IngresII\ingres\lib set as an Additional Library Directory
under Linker / General properties
But that made no difference
