Re: Noobie, please help!

the dev-c++ created a FreeTDS.DLL file and the libFreeTDS.a.

so now the g++ line looks like this:

g++.exe ../common.o ../t0001.o  -o "t0001.exe" -L"C:/MinGW/lib"
-L"C:/Dev-Cpp/lib" -L"C:/Gal/tmp/freetds-0.82/win32/dev-cpp" -lkernel32
-luser32  -lwinspool -ladvapi32 -lshell32 -lole32 -loleaut32 -luuid
-lFreeTDS

but still, I get the same result trace,

Thanks a lot for the help
