To use EXEC SQL directives you need to use the PRO*C precompiler before the C compiler.
See http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14407/toc.htm Pro*C/C++ Programmer's Guide
10g Release 2 (10.2)
Reads the introduction first!
If you don't want to use the pre-compiler, you can't use PRO*C directives and embedded SQL - you can use OCI, the Oracle Call Interface, instead - see http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14250/toc.htm.
Certainly, PRO*C is easier to get started with (in my opinion).
Hope that helps
