Hi Reggie White,

Thanks for answering.

By the way, I have included all the files in firebird 1.0 lib folder.

gds32.lib,
gds32_ms.lib,
ib_util.lib,
and ib_util_ms.lib

btw, when I include gds32.lib, gds32_ms.lib and ib_util.lib
these error occurs:

Linking...
C:\FIREBIRD\LIB\gds32.lib : fatal error LNK1136: invalid or corrupt
file
Error executing link.exe.

For ib_util_ms.lib, no compilation error.

Is it because of the corrupt files ?

I am using the header file(ibase.h) and lib file(all the lib files
mentioned above) distributed under Firebird-1.0.0.796-Win32.exe
package.

Which lib file should I include to compile together?

Thank you.
