hi,
I was looking for a C/C++ program that will make a connection to the
sybase server (version 11) and i finally found it at
http://www.cs.sfu.ca/CC/SW/Sybase/DB-LIBRARY/node2.html
now I'm trying to make it work. This program uses sybdb and just
executes dblogin, dbopen, dbcmd, dbsqlexec.
I can compile it but there is some trouble in linking it
Following are the errors when i try to link it:

All of the missing symbols are defined in the sybdb library. I'm not sure
what the file is called on Windows, nor if it will work with Borland's C
compiler/linker. Still the symptom that you are seeing is indicative that
your binary is not linked with the proper Sybase library file.

then maybe i'm giving the wrong command, which is:

bcc32 -Ic:\sybase\include -Lc:\sybase\lib example3.c

maybe you can help me with the right command


thanks for responding to my message, it was great help.

YOu probably need to add

or something like that...
