libstuff/libstuff.h:485:70: error: ‘strcasecmp’ was not declared in this scope

Greetings.

I am trying to build BedrockDB in the cygwin environment. After commenting the,

#include <execinfo.h> // for backtrace

line in libstuff/libstuff.h, the compilation continued, but then I hit this wall:

g++ -g -std=c++14 -fpic -O2 -Wall -Werror -Wformat-security -DGIT_REVISION=f6d58b9 -I/home/e608313/builds/Bedrock -I/home/e608313/builds/Bedrock/mbedtls/include -MMD -MF libstuff/libstuff.d -MT libstuff/libstuff.h.gch -c libstuff/libstuff.h
libstuff/libstuff.h: In function ‘bool SIEquals(const string&, const string&)’:
libstuff/libstuff.h:485:70: error: ‘strcasecmp’ was not declared in this scope
inline bool SIEquals(const string& lhs, const string& rhs) { return !strcasecmp(lhs.c_str(), rhs.c_str()); }
^~~~~~~~~~
libstuff/libstuff.h:485:70: note: suggested alternative: ‘strncmp’
inline bool SIEquals(const string& lhs, const string& rhs) { return !strcasecmp(lhs.c_str(), rhs.c_str()); }
^~~~~~~~~~
strncmp

static string randStr(uint& length);
^~~~
make: *** No rule to make target 'libstuff/libstuff.d', needed by '.build/libstuff/libstuff.d'. Stop.

which now stops everything. The command executed within the Bedrock directory is,

CC=gcc GXX=g++ make

$ gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 7.4.0

$ make --version
GNU Make 4.2.1
Built for i686-pc-cygwin

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi, I think I found a solution:

In the libstuff.h: file, replace #include <string> with #include <strings.h>.

That fixed it for me. Found it from https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7248509/strcasecmp-was-not-declared-in-this-scope

Oh! That's great! Can you please create a PR and submit it for us to test? Thanks!

I'll see what I can do. It seems fixing that one error just surfaced a bunch of others - I'll see how to go about fixing them as they seem to be specific to cygwin.
