help w/Oracle class library for C++ on Linux

[stefanie tomko]

Hi -
I'm trying to recompile some code (which I did not write) & am running
into this error -- due to my low familiarity with both C++ & Oracle stuff,
I'm not exactly sure where the problem is.

Anyway, the project has this oracleapp.h file, with this snippet in it:

class COracleApp : public CDBApp
{
private:
COraSession session;
COraDataset dataset;

but when I compile, I get:

In file included from ../../general/src/oracleapp.cpp:1:
.../../general/src/oracleapp.h:24: 'COraSession' is used as a type, but is
not defined as a type.
.../../general/src/oracleapp.h:25: 'COraDataset' is used as a type, but is
not defined as a type.

Now, I just realized that this typedef is found in the following #ifdef in
ora.h, one of the OCL headers:

#ifdef OCL_DEPRECATED
typedef OraConnection COraSession;
typedef OraQuery COraDataset;

but.... I'm not sure where I should be #define-ing OCL_DEPRECATED, or even
if I should be doing this.

Any suggestions, tips, insight would be REALLY appreciated; this is
driving me crazy!

thanks--

You can define it with the gcc command line option -DOCL_DEPRECATED or
put it into your source before the OCL headers are included. E.g.

#define OCL_DEPRECATED

Hmmm, I tried both the gcc option & inserting it directly into the header
-- but I get a message that it's being redefined. So

#define OCL_DEPRECATED

actually *is* already included in another one of the library files,
crdef.h. And so I'm still getting the

'COraSession' is used as a type, but is not defined as a type.

error. Aaaargh!

thanks for your response, though!
