Link Error: Undefined symbol: ___strtod

I am trying to static link lua into a FreePascal application. I have fixed all of the errors during the linking except this one. Undefined Symbol: __strtod

All of the other Undefined Symbols I was able to link in via libkernel32.a, libuser32.a and libmsvcr.a from the MinGW compiler which I used to compile the liblualib.a that I am linking in in place of using the dll.

I would like to have this static linked and not dynamic linked. So, would anyone happen to know which .a lib file ___strtod is defined in or know how I can search and find this out.

To my knowledge it is a C99 function and MinGW, GCC support it. So, I would think that it would be in one of the lib (.a) files that come with it.

Thanks,

Solution

  • Turns out that I never came back and answered my question when I got it to work.

    I searched online for the function in C and then compiled it to a static library using MinGW. With the libstrtod.a file that I created I was able to static link it into the program compiled by FreePascal.

    I have since had to give up the source for this project since it was on contract, I will try to remember to make an example of this to share.

    Thanks for all of the responses and suggestions.
