Re: [sqlite] lobjc

I seem to be having some trouble linking a small test programme as included

I am totally new to Windows and am sure that I have missed something elementary.
I obtained sqlite and have installed:
windows98(2)
dev-c++ 4.9.9.2 (latest modified version)
sqlite-3.1.3.zip
sqlitedll-3.1.3.zip
sqlite-source.zip
 

This sounds like more of a problem with configuring dev-c++ than with 
SQLite.  Perhaps you would be better served on a dev-c++ forum.

The sqlite3.h that I am using I took directly from the sqlite-source package
The programme compiles fine but the linker advises:
"  cannot find -lobjc  " and ld exits with status 1
 

This means that the linker is configured (somewhere, in some dialog box) 
to use Objective C (is my guess), where you really want to use plain C.  
Perhaps you mistakenly selected Objective C as your default language 
when you created the project.  I don't know -- as I said, this sounds 
more like a configuration problem with dev-c++ than a problem with SQLite.

Go hunt for references to libobjc, -lobjc, and Objective C in the 
configuration dialogs.  And make sure that all paths in any 
path-configuration dialog box are set correctly.

I have a copy of libobjc.a in cygwin/lib/mingw and copied it to 
c:/dev-cpp/lib/gcc/mingw32/3.4.2 as lobjc.a
but this is not working
 

Unless your Cygwin version of libobjc.a is exactly the same as the one 
that comes with dev-c++, I suspect this may not be a good idea.

Perhaps try uninstalling and reinstalling dev-c++.
