#4 use of undeclared identifier '_strnicmp'; did you mean 'strnicmp'?

[Ryan Carsten Schmidt]

Building ResIL 1.7.9 on OS X 10.9 Mavericks fails:

./../src-IL/src/il_gif.cpp:115:7: error: use of undeclared identifier '_strnicmp'; did you mean 'strnicmp'?
 if (!_strnicmp(Header, "GIF87A", 6))
      ^~~~~~~~~
      strnicmp

I was able to work around this problem by replacing the occurrences of "_strnicmp" with "strnicmp", like they were in DevIL 1.7.8.

That is probably correct; Windows wants underscores in front of the C standard library functions, everyone does not. For portability, probably something like

ifdef _WIN32

define strnicmp _strnicmp

endif

could be added.

Here's Microsoft's view of the situation:

I have added a definition for strnicmp to il_internal.h which will be part of version 1.8.0 and have reverted the occurences of _strnicmp to strnicmp.

Ok, then you can close this ticket and mark it fixed.
