Hi,

I'm trying to compile a C program on a new host and am getting the following error.

undefined reference to strmov

I'm compiling as follows

gcc -o test test.c -I/usr/include/mysql -L/usr/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient -lz

This worked on a previous host and I've checked that I have access to the /usr directories.

I'm simply using strmov as follows within the C program.

end = strmov(v_query,"SELECT count(*) FROM players");

thanks in anticipation

Hi,
for anyone else encountering this error and hunting through the web unsuccessfully for a solution here is what I've done.

I dumped strmov in favour of strcpy so that my code has changed from

end = strmov(v_query, "SELECT count(*) ");
end += mysql_escape_string(end,"FROM table",10);

to

end = strcpy(v_query, "SELECT count(*) ");
end += strlen (end);
end += mysql_escape_string(end,"FROM table",10);

This works fine and at least the programs are now compiling.
