Hi,

What you need to do is this:
When you include the WRB include files, surround the #includes with:

extern "C" {
...
}

Otherwise your C++ compiler will mangle the API names, and you won't be able to link with the Oracle library. Also, for the entry point which you tell Oracle, you need to go:

extern "C" testentry(...)

so that C++ won't mangle your function name.

Cheers,
