Good luck! It is a real bitch trying to figure these things out.

If anyone has any replies to this, I would like to here them. As far as I am concerned, the Makefiles that come with the Oracle Precompilers are the worst in the Unix world. I absolutely DREAD porting our app to a new version or Oracle because of this.

It would be really nice if Oracle could just tell us which libraries to link against for the different options we need (ie: sql*net, pl/sql, etc...) Received on Thu Jul 13 1995 - 00:00:00 CEST
