OK. This is a short one. I would say I'm still pretty new to be a real fulltime Linux developer, so this is the first time I met this problem.
I've been using stricmp() for a long long time but this is the first time I found there's no stricmp() in Linux. Instead, Linux has a similar function called strcasecmp() (also a corresponding strncasecmp() ). Besides that, these two functions are not defined in string.h, instead, they reside in a separate header file called strings.h. That's it.
This is really annoying especially when you are considering portability.

Helped me thou hast.
Thanks, that helps!
Thanks!
thanks a lot!!, I was looking forward this info!!
Man, talk about crappy comments.
Look, what do you suggest then?
I cannot believe the comments you have here are from people with the reading comprehension to actually read what you wrote.
For me, I will probably simply typedef the name for windows code.
It's even more fun because stricmp is deprecated in favor of _stricmp (at least in MSVC).
Thanks for the tip!
Thanks a lot this Post was very helpful! I was trying to compile my Program in Linux (worked fine in Windows + Cygwin) and was getting mad with these "out of scope" errors ;)
Simple and concise! You've been a great help :D
it is still in string.h
