Subject: Re: [mSQL] C API and linking

Very simple -- you need to put your libraries AFTER the object file which
references it.

Try
   gcc test.c -I/usr/local/Minerva/include -L/usr/local/Minerva/lib -lmsql

     I know that this might be considered off topic but I decided I would give it
   a try anyway, since the other alternative would be to post it to comp.lang.c and
   recieve the flaming of a lifetime. Anyway, I have a question regarding
   using the mSQL API and linking it up to the mSQL library. I have some
   sample source
   code that #includes "msql.h". When I compile with the command:
   gcc -I/usr/local/Minerva/include -L/usr/local/Minerva/lib -lmsql test.c
   I get this from my Unix shell:
   Undefined first referenced
    symbol in file
   msqlConnect /tmp/cca002391.o
   ld: fatal: Symbol referencing errors. No output written to a.out

      I know for sure that the header file was installed in the default location
   because if I don't specify the first parameter GCC complains that it can't find
   the header file.
      There must be something real simple that I'm overlooking. Does anybody know
   what I'm doing wrong??

                                  Thanks,
