Hi all,

I have created a post-C (PC) script OrdItmpopulate.pc. When I am compiling this using the “Make” command I am getting the following error. My “make” command looks like this:



make -f $ORACLE_HOME/precomp/demo/proc/demo_proc.mk build EXE=OrdItmpopulate8.exe OBJS="OrdItmpopulate8.o" exfcns.c PROCFLAGS="MODE=ANSI" CC="c89" CFLAGS="shell_flags_compiler_hp"



“msg_open” is a function declared in exfcns.c which is #included in my PC script.

The .o file is getting created and the exe file is also getting created but it is not executing.



The compile time error is:



c89 -o OrdItmpopulate8.exe OrdItmpopulate8.o -L/u01/app/oracle/dev/produ

ct/8.1.7/lib/ -lclntsh `cat /u01/app/oracle/dev/product/8.1.7/lib/sysliblist`

Stop.



Please help me in this as soon as possible.

It's not a Pro*C problem. It's a linking problem. Since you are dealing with a lot of variables: complex make file, multiple source files, precompilers, etc - there are too many things to rule out for us to get a good solution

So, I'll make a simple suggestion that may not be the best solution but has the highest probability of working:

Somewhere near the top of your OrdItmpopulate.pc file (before you invoke "msg_open" or any of the other calls that are causing errors) put the following:
NOTE: exfcns.c has to exist either in the current directory or in one of the directories specified to the proc (pro*C precompiler) command. The directories specified with -I
I would place exfcns.c in the current directory and add as another proc command line parameter.
