[Mapserver-users] MapServer Windows external symbol problem

[Ed McNierney]

Howard -

Add the target name "regex.obj" to the nmake command line - the errors
come from trying to build the test applications, which you don't need.

If you click on the first entry found by the Google search you emailed
below, you'll find me saying the same thing <g>.

Subject: [Mapserver-users] MapServer Windows external symbol problem

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+ex
ternal+symbol+_printchar&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&c2coff=1&start=10&sa=N&filte
r=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
