Description:
Linking...
mysqlclient.lib(ctype-simple.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _my_strtod
mysqlclient.lib(ctype-ucs2.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _my_strtod
../client_debug/mysql.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals
Error executing link.exe.

As far as i see, there are some changes in "m_string.h" - added declaration of my_strtod().

And changes in ctype-simple(ucs2).c - replacing of "strtod" to "my_strtod".

May be I should just add some lines in DEF file? But I don't know, which file I should edit .. :(

How to repeat:

I've just get more errors:
opt_ft.h(27) : error C2011: 'FT_SELECT' : 'class' type redefinition
pt_ft.cpp(33) : error C2664: '__thiscall FT_SELECT::FT_SELECT(class THD *,struct st_table *,unsigned int)' : cannot convert parameter 3 from 'struct st_table_ref *' to 'unsigned int'
        This conversion requires a reinterpret_cast, a C-style cast or function-style cast

        Types pointed to are unrelated; conversion requires reinterpret_cast, C-style cast or function-style cast

and more about prev comment:
I searched for definition of my_strtod. And I din't find it.

You're on a bleeding edge :)
I pushed my_strtod yesterday only.

Yes, I suspected that making it to work on Windows would require additional changes, but I couldn't do it myself (no Windows...). Today our Windows developer will fix this problem.

as for "I searched for definition of my_strtod. And I din't find it" - it should be in strings/strtod.c. Do you see it there ? (or it's a problem with linux->windows export script?)

http://mysql.bkbits.net:8080/mysql-4.1/hist/strings/strtod.c?nav=index.html|src/|src/strin...

For to resolve the external symbol issue on Windows just is necessary
to add the file \strings\strtod.c to the below VC++ project files:

\libmysql\libmysql.dsp
\client\mysqlclient.dsp

I am assign Greg whom is the VC++ project files maintainer.

Thanks for the bug report.

It's still me again.
There are more errors. I hope it helps.
