unresolved external symbol _strncasecmp.

Question

Hi,all, this is a green hand.

I'm compiling something in vc++6.0.

 I should say that the source codes are written for gcc, I just wanna edit it so that it can run in vc++6.0. The progress can run well in linux, and my OS is windows.

 Now the compiling progress is OK, but I met problems like this in the linking progress:

rdseed.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _strncasecmp.

is there anyone who can tell me how to deal with this? Thanks.

Answer 1

And instead of using Linux Function Simply try Windows API .Have a look on the following link to undestand the things in detail.

Linker Tools Error LNK2001

Thanx

Answer 2

 

Pintu Shukla ， thanks for you help. I'm doing with that now.

Answer 3

I used stricmp and strnicmp, instead of strcasecmp and strncasecmp, and included the head file string.h, and the problem is olved now. Thanx.

 

Answer 4

"And instead of using Linux Function Simply try Windows API"

Silly him, Having the odacity to try to use obscure International Standard, like Posix. What next a C99-compliant compiler ?

@echoooo: Create a header to hide windows ugliness. something like winshit.h:

#ifndef WINSHIT_INCLUDED
#define WINSHIT_INCLUDED

#if defined(WIN32) || defined(WIN64)
#define strcasecmp _stricmp
#endif /* Def WIN32 or Def WIN64 */

#endif /* Ndef WINSHIT_INCLUDED */

Over time you will put there many wrapper and inline funciton to hide the big intentional mess created by Redmont.

Answer 5

Yes, god forbid he use an ISO function rather than a POSIX function on a non-POSIX operating system.
