From: M. Prabhakar Rao on 9 Feb 2006 03:14 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.

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.
