C/C++ Compilation errors

Hi,

I am getting the following compilation errors while trying to compile C code. I tried to simulate the XML library from the net and compile it using VC but am getting the following:

Must be the case of missing header file. Did you include all neccessary header files?
For SQL queries,did you prepare a connection properly?

Another cause can be due to a semantic mistake.In other words, a missing paranthesis can cause a grave concern.The latter errors point to the fact to missing paranthesis or a stray sybmol violating structre of your program.

Solution: I don't know much about SQL and its header files, but suggest you to debug it module wise and see the cause.This is in case your code is too long.
Comment your code till the error is removed,then uncomment until error is removed.

Hope my approach would help you.

That's it....just those?

Jaja...just Kidding!
The first problem is, I think, like Cirus said, a matter of SQL headers. The command WHENEVER ....is not found and therefore not recongnized by the parser. The second error is a simple { missing. That starts a chain reaction that crushes the entire code. Check the first occurence of missing { before here:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\Include\bhtypes.h(198) : error C2143: syntax error : missing '{' before '*'

Fix that and you should only have the problem with the SQL statements....which is not little and personaly...have no idea how to solve!

Good Luck

Hi ,

Thankx for your reply!!!

I solved my problem.

The XML parser was using a parser.h file proprietry to the XML parser toolkit. VC also using PARSER.h as a system header file and so the conflict ....

I renamed the VC header file and it compiled but am now getting linking error as follows:

.........if you can help me!!!!

Please exaplin. I am not clear.
Its the case of linking error and deals with improper project settings.Ensure to include all mssing/relevant library files.
