Need help to compile mapserver-4.2.2 under windows

[Swaminathan, Gayathri]

Hi Bai:
I am assuming you are using MSVC6

The linker error "unresolved external symbol _printchar" is because regex.obj,it does not exist in your regex folder or is corrupt.

Resolution: Please recompile with regex to resolve. There have been requests for a regex makefile previously to the list....and you should find one in the archives...if not let me know and I could send you the same.

The other errors: are from your GDAL library...

Can you explain how you compiled GDAL...as to what was enabled in the nmake.opt for GDAL?

Gayathri
