[Mapserver-users] MapServer Windows external symbol problem

[Brent Fraser]

Howard,

printchar.c can be found in regex-0.12\test

compile it and add to mapserver's nmake.opt (around line 431):
REGEX_OBJ=$(REGEX_DIR)\regex.obj $(REGEX_DIR)\test\printchar.obj

I don't remember having to do this before, but then I skipped a couple of
releases...
