  A few minutes ago I run 'svn update' to update my local copy of fdocore:

mloskot:~/dev/fdo/_svn$ svn up
U    Utilities/Common/Src/FdoCommonConnStringParser.cpp
U    Utilities/Common/Src/FdoCommonConnPropDictionary.cpp
U    Utilities/Common/Inc/FdoCommonConnStringParser.h
U    Utilities/Common/Inc/FdoCommonConnPropDictionary.h


Next, I run make (there are no new files so ./configure run is not required):

mloskot:~/dev/fdo/_svn$ make
./Inc/FdoCommonConnPropDictionary.h: In member function 'ConnectionProperty* FdoCommonPropDictionary<T>::FindProperty(const wchar_t*)':
./Inc/FdoCommonConnPropDictionary.h:751: error: there are no arguments to '_wcsnicmp' that depend on a template parameter, so a declaration of '_wcsnicmp' must be available

There are two defects:

1. Unix/GCC compatibility issue

_wcsnicmp() function is not a C/C++ standard function
but Microsoft's extension.

Complete list of wcs* functions from <wchar.h> header added to the C Standard,
with Amendment 1, 1995:
http://www.dinkumware.com/manuals/?manual=compleat&page=wchar.html

2. Non-platform specific issue

Missing header (likely wchar.h) with declaration/prototype of _wcsnicmp() function.
In file FdoCommonConnPropDictionary.h, full declaration of _wcsnicmp() function
must be available, otherwise the code is ill-formed and should not compile.

Tested with GCC 4.0.3 compiler.
