I suspect that you need to include the appropriate SIOUX (viz.,
console) MW library. I also overcame these problems, but encountered
the following, which I sent to Wolfram as a bug report:
Per Stephen Wolfram's "Mathematica," Second Edition, page 508, the
following should be an acceptable method of invoking MLMain ():
#include "mathlink.h"
void
main (int argc, char **argv)
{
MLMain (0, (char **) 0L);
}
However, upon initialization, MLOpen () dies on an implicit call to
strcmp () (strcmp () appears to have been passed a NULL address).
Based upon the calling chain, it appears that MLOpen () is evaluating
the command line arguments, of which there are none and none should be
necessary. The following is the calling chain:
main (MLMain (0, (char **) 0L);)
MLMain (mlp = MLOpen( argc, argv);)
MLOpen
MLOpenInEnv
argv_to_open_parameters
argv_to_open_parameters
strcmp
N.b.: MLOpen () also fails in the same fashion with the following
invocation:
#include "mathlink.h"
void
main (void)
{
int argc = 1;
char *argv[] = {"sobol", (char *) 0L};
MLMain (argc, argv);
}
Thus, what command line arguments are necessary to satisfy MLMain ()'s
MLOpen () call? Thank you.
Unfortunately, I've not received a reply from them. Thus, I'd
appreciate anyone's insight into circumventing this problem.
Thanks!
