Troubles with regex-0.12

[Frank Warmerdam]

Karel,

I would suggest you review:

  http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc44/win32_compile-howto.html

In particular there is a section that reads:

Regex Build Problems.

regex.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _printchar
libmap.dll : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'link' : return code '0x460'
Stop.

This occurs if you use the stock regex-0.12 we referenced. I work
around this by commenting out the "extern" statement for the
printchar() function, and replacing it with a stub implementation in
regex-0.12\regex.c.

//extern void printchar ();
void printchar( int i ) {}

Best regards,
