[Mapserver-users] MapServer Windows external symbol problem

[Howard Butler]

Assefa,

I am trying to compile Windows MapServer, but I am having trouble getting 
regex to behave when it comes time to link.  Apparently, many others have 
had trouble as well 
<http://www.google.com/search?q=regex.obj+:+error+LNK2001:+unresolved+external+symbol+_printchar&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&c2coff=1&start=10&sa=N&filter=0>.

Here is the link error:
regex.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _printchar

I have tried every permutation of putting that symbol in the header, making 
sure it is extern'ed properly (in both the C file and the header), but I am 
having no luck.  I grepped through my VC++ include files and my cygwin 
include files for that function prototype (printchar), but I cannot find it 
anywhere.

If you have any ideas of other things I might try, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Thanks

Howard
