Unresolved reference to "strcasecmp" building CVS Emacs on Windows with MS Visual Studio 6.0

Unresolved reference to "strcasecmp" building CVS Emacs on Windows with MS Visual Studio 6.0

[Fran Litterio]

When I do "nmake bootstrap" to build the latest CVS Emacs on Windows
XP with MS Visual Studio 6.0 installed, I get an unresolved reference
to "strcasecmp" when linking temacs.exe. I had to apply the following
patch to get a clean build:

--- src/s/ms-w32.h      21 Apr 2006 09:24:03 -0000      1.40
+++ src/s/ms-w32.h      4 Aug 2006 16:38:50 -0000
@@ -386,6 +386,7 @@
 #define stricmp   _stricmp
 #define tzset     _tzset
 #define tzname    _tzname
+#define strcasecmp _stricmp

 #ifdef HAVE_NTGUI
 #define abort  w32_abort

I'm not sure if the above patch is the best way to solve this problem,
but it works for me.

Thanks.  I guess no one noticed this before because most of us use
MinGW, which does have strcasecmp in its library.

I fixed this in CVS slightly differently: by using stricmp in the
source.

Oops.

Thank you for fixing my fault.
