The Powder Toy

stricmp not declared

    Hi! So I've been trying to compile the game via github, and, after a lot of effort, I got to the actual compiling stage. I run scons.py, and it gets part of the way through before telling me that "_stricmp is not declared". I get this problem first in Update.cpp. I removed that, hoping it wasn't important, but then the error started showing up with other files too. Any ideas?

    What compiler are you using? Did you follow one of the wiki guides?

    (probably can't respond again until tomorrow)

    I'm using scons 3.0.0, I believe. I followed the wiki guide as best I could (I downloaded the programs in the wrong order, but I don't know if that would make the difference).

    Everything worked as intended, except for one thing- when I type cc into cmd or git bash, it just says unknown command.

    I recommend visual studio. the scons guide rarely works for anyone anymore. It recommends an ancient compiler, instead of a modern one. I'll update it eventually.

    scons isn't a compiler, it's just a build system.

    Oh... Alright then. I suppose I'll just spend another day trying to figure the other compiler out then, haha
