I'm certain that you'll get linker errors if you don't link in FreeTDS.lib. I may have had the ODBC stuff in the test app so that I could test a "Hello ODBC" run to check that the database was up. It has been awhile, so I don’t recall the specifics precisely. It may not be necessary to link in the ODBC libraries to run FreeTDS.

I am trying to use db-library, and I don't have odbc*.lib and FreeTDS.lib linked.

On a Windows platform it will take the form of a COFF binary, no matter what compiler is used. As I'm sure you know, the *compiler* per se just converts C to object code. But it can be told to make certain assumptions with every header file about the libraries its output will be linked to. For everything to work properly, all components in the final executable need to share a single definition of each global name e.g. strcpy(3). If some of your code is linked to glibc and other to Microsofts's C runtime library, I'd expect problems. > >> > > That's the issue I think when compiling with Visual Studio, and trying to use the .lib with Qt. > > > >> HTH. > >> > >> --jkl > >> _______________________________________________ > >> FreeTDS mailing list > >> [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]%3cmailto:[email protected]>> > >> http://lists.ibiblio.org/mailman/listinfo/freetds > > > > Harry Sfougaris > > > > > > > > > > _______________________________________________ > > FreeTDS mailing list > > [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]%3cmailto:[email protected]>> > > http://lists.ibiblio.org/mailman/listinfo/freetds > _______________________________________________ > FreeTDS mailing list > [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> > http://lists.ibiblio.org/mailman/listinfo/freetds Harry Sfougaris _______________________________________________ FreeTDS mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> http://lists.ibiblio.org/mailman/listinfo/freetds _______________________________________________ FreeTDS mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ibiblio.org/mailman/listinfo/freetds
