[Dev-C++] compilation error

[David <dj...@td...>]

I'm learning c++ and in a program I'm working on, I have this line:
return int strcomp(koala, input_k);
When I try to compile, I get this error:
parse error before `('
I'm not quite sure about the syntax, and I have no idea what the error =
means. Can someone help me?
