I'm currently trying to use googletest with MinGW and -std=c++0x but it complains that _stricmp is not declared in this scope which it doesn't when I do not use -std=c++0x.
I have no idea what _stricmp is, I just found out that it is defined in cstring/string.h, so why is it gone in C++0x?
The -std=c++0x option causes g++ to go into 'strict ANSI' mode so it doesn't declare non-standard functions (and _stricmp() is non-standard - it's just a version of strcmp() that's case-insensitive).
Use -std=gnu++0x instead.
