compiling C CGI

[Nobody/Anonymous]

Hi,
  I am having trouble compiling my c code for GGI.
I got an API of sorts, from www.boutell.com.  I got it working without too much dificulty in MS C++ 5
but can't get it working for some reason in dev-c++. 

  The code comes with a .c and .h file.  In the .c file the main() function does all the necessary parsing to get cgi variables and it calls a cgiMain() function which is where the user (me) writes all the required code treating it like a the main function of my code.
  Hope the  poor explaniation of what i am trying to do helps.
the compile log is below.

OP --

Looks to me as though you need to build the cgic library/archive, link it in your Projects and *also* add cgic.c with your source in those Projects. Seems a little odd, but but it apparently has something to do with the cgiMain stuff. Read the documentation carefully, and see Adrian's FAQ, as well....
