I think you have to put liboci.a somewhere where the gcc compiler under Cygwin has instructions to see it. If you copy liboci.a to somewhere like /usr/lib or /usr/local/lib under Cygwin, the standard library include instructions for make should then see it. Otherwise, fiddle about with trying to modify compilation lines like the following: > LD_RUN_PATH=d:/oracle/ora81/lib:d:/oracle/ora81/rdbms/lib > -s -L/usr/local/lib Oracle.o dbdimp.o oci7.o oci8.o It would look like from the two lines above, that if you copied liboci.a to either d:/oracle/ora81/lib, d:/oracle/ora81/rdbms/lib or more likely, /usr/local/lib, you'd have a greater chance of it being found! :-) The README.wingcc file may contain further debug help, too? 8-) HTH!
