I am writing this as a newbie and a transient in both the Oracle and Windows worlds.

I have written a C++ program, precompiled it with the Pro C utility that came with my 8.1 oracle installation, and attempted to compile it into a DLL using Visual C++ 5.0 (shows you how infrequently I dust off this environment). When I generate a static library, everything works just fine. When I attempt to generate a DLL, however, I get the following linker message:

Linking...

Creating library Debug/mplus_parse_oracle.lib and object Debug/mplus_parse_oracle.exp
mplus_parse_oracle.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "void __cdecl sqlcxt(void * *,unsigned long *,struct sqlexd *,struct sqlcxp const *)" (?sqlcxt@@YAXPAPAXPAKPAUsqlexd@@PBUsqlcxp@@@Z) Debug/mplus_parse_oracle.dll : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals
Error executing link.exe.

My workspace includes just the single source file, my export defs file and the library oraSQX8.lib.

Any thoughts or suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks,

Lee Christensen
