Hi,

AFAIK MathLink will work with Borland C/C++ (free Personal edition
http://www.borland.com/downloads/download_cbuilderx.html),
Visual Studio (the free Visual Studio Express Edition
http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/visualc/download/default.aspx)
Open Watcom C/C++ 
(http://www.openwatcom.org/index.php/Main_Page)
compilers. But it will not work with Cygwin and you should try
one of the compilers above -- none  costs money for personal use.


Regards
  Jens

| Hello:
|
| I have a question regarding MathLink. The basic 
idea is to be able to
| access a function written in C via Mathematica. 
I followed the procedure
| illustrated in the Mathematica Book. I wrote a 
template file for the
| function and used mprep to generate 
corresponding .c file. However, when
| I compile this .c file to generate the 
executable, I get the following
| error:
|
| In fuunction 'int _MLMain(char**, char**, 
char*):
| error: '_fstrncpy' undeclared (first use this 
function)
| error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported 
only once for each function
| it appears in.)
|
| When I look at the .c file generated by mprep, 
the function _fstrncpy is
| declared as follows:
| #if WIN32_MATHLINK && !defined(_fstrncpy)
| #  define _fstrncpy
| #endif
|
| System Information:
| I am running Mathematica on a laptop under 
Windows XP. Since I do not have
| Microsoft Visual Studio, I am using cygwin to 
write all my code in C.
|
| Please help.
|
| Best regards,
