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 "M. Prabhakar Rao" <mrao1 at umbc.edu> schrieb im Newsbeitrag news:dsetls$jgp$1 at smc.vnet.net... | 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, | | Prabhakar Rao | -- | M.
