Car takes forever to start

Ok...This morning i tried starting my car and it took about 45minutes to do so. I noticed on rough starts the 'oil' light doesnt come on.But when the cars up and ready to fire up both the oil and battery light comes on...I was wondering if this was a main relay problem or something else?

we need more info. ie. just clicks, or starts then dies. and yes the oil and battery lamps come on when you are on auxiliary power

try a new battery, sounds weak to me. check the terminals for corrosion and stuff. if so clean it.
