undefined reference to <FUNCTION_NAME>

[address@hidden]

All:

I am sure you all can point me to something I am overlooking. I have a
simple C++ code as below:

#include <sdetype.h>
#include <sdeerno.h>
#include <iostream>

static void check_error (       SE_CONNECTION           connection,
                                                        SE_STREAM               
        stream,
                                                        LONG                    
        rc,
                                                        CHAR                    
        *comment
                                                );

int main (void)
{
    SE_CONNECTION       connection;
    SE_ERROR                    se_error;
        char                sde_server[32];
        char                sde_instance[32];
        char                sde_database[32];
        char                user_name[32];
        char                user_password[32];
        int rc;

        strcpy(sde_server,"himalaya");
        strcpy(sde_instance,"5151");
        strcpy(sde_database,"geodata");
        strcpy(user_name,"gisdba");
        strcpy(user_password,"gisdba");

        rc = SE_connection_create (sde_server, sde_instance, sde_database,
user_name, user_password,&se_error, &connection);

}


The above code compiles file if I comment the last line

        rc = SE_connection_create (sde_server, sde_instance, sde_database,
user_name, user_password,&se_error, &connection);

but throws following error in verbose mode,  if I don't

I am compiling it using the following parameters


g++ -I/cygdrive/c/arcgis/ArcSDE/include/
-L/cygdrive/c/arcgis/ArcSDE/lib/ sdeConnect.c -o test

I am not sure what is going on...
Any ideas and or pointers will be highly appreciated.
