Fastcgi and cgicc compile problems

I'll be the first to confess that I don't know what I'm doing.  It's been
awhile since I've worked in C++ and I'm trying to get fcgi-test.cpp to
build.



My environment:



Windows XP

Apache 2.x

VC6



I had FastCGI running on Apache and wanted to get it working with cgicc, so
I attempted to build cgicc.  I immediately got a host of "error C2039:
'isspace' is not an element of 'std'" – type errors, so I stripped out any
"std::" prefix that the compiler complained about (probably a bad move).



Cgicc then compiled and I put cgicc.lib and cgicc.dll in places where my
fcgi-test project could get to them (cgicc.lib in /visual studio/vc98/libs/
until I figured out a better place for it and cgicc.dll in
/windows/system32).



Then I attempted to compile fcgi-test.cpp:



#include <exception>

#include <iostream>





#include "cgicc/Cgicc.h"

#include "cgicc/HTTPHTMLHeader.h"

#include "cgicc/HTMLClasses.h"



#include "FCgiIO.h"



// To use the debug logging feature, the variable gLogFile MUST be

// defined, and it _must_ be an ofstream

#if DEBUG

  std::ofstream gLogFile( "/Debug/cgicc.log", std::ios::app );

#endif



using namespace std;

using namespace cgicc;



int

main(int /*argc*/,

     const char **/*argv*/,

     char **/*envp*/)

{

  unsigned count = 0;



  FCGX_Request request;



  FCGX_Init();

  FCGX_InitRequest(&request, 0, 0);



  while(FCGX_Accept_r(&request) == 0) {



    try {

      FCgiIO IO(request);

      Cgicc CGI(&IO);



      // Output the HTTP headers for an HTML document, and the HTML 4.0 DTD
info

      IO << HTTPHTMLHeader() << HTMLDoctype( HTMLDoctype::eStrict ) << endl

         << html().set( "lang", "en" ).set( "dir", "ltr" ) << endl;



      // Set up the page's header and title.

      IO << head() << endl

         << title() << "GNU cgicc v" << CGI.getVersion() << title() << endl

         << head() << endl;



      // Start the HTML body

      IO << body() << endl;



      // Print out a message

      IO << h1("Cgicc/FastCGI Test") << endl

         << "count: " << count++ << br() << endl;



      IO  << "Form Elements:" << br() << endl;



      for(const_form_iterator i = CGI.getElements().begin();

        i != CGI.getElements().end(); ++i )

        IO << i->getName() << " = " << i->getValue() << br() << endl;



      // Close the document

      IO << body() << html();



   }

    catch(const exception&) {

      // handle error condition

    }



    FCGX_Finish_r(&request);

  }



  return 0;

}



It failed with a boatload of warnings (ugh) and 2 errors:



Linking...



fcgi-test.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol
"__declspec(dllimport) public: void __thiscall cgicc::FCgiIO::`vbase
destructor'(void)" (__imp_??_DFCgiIO@cgicc@@QAEXXZ)



fcgi-test.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol
"__declspec(dllimport) public: __thiscall cgicc::FCgiIO::FCgiIO(struct
FCGX_Request &)" (__imp_??0FCgiIO@cgicc@@QAE@AAUFCGX_Request@@@Z)



c:\development\httpd\fcgi-bin\test.fcgi : fatal error LNK1120: 2 unresolved
externals

…



The compiler apparently is having a problem with the line FCgiIO
IO(request);



Happily hacking away, I added # define CGICC_EXPORTS 1 in cgidefs.h, which
eliminated the first link error.  My changes to cgidefs.h are excerpted
here:



…

// Win32-specific setup

#ifdef WIN32



// HACK ALERT: forcing dllexport

# define CGICC_EXPORTS 1



// export library symbols

#  ifdef CGICC_EXPORTS

#    define CGICC_API __declspec(dllexport)

#  else

#    define CGICC_API __declspec(dllimport)

#  endif



#  define HOST "Win32"

#  define VERSION "3.2.3"



#else

#  define CGICC_API

#endif /* WIN32 */



#endif /* ! _CGIDEFS_H_ */

…



I'm stuck on the second link error.  Of course, even if I somehow managed to
hack the second link error away I'll certainly still have problems.  So
hopefully an expert out there can show me how to build cgicc and
fcgi-test.cpp the right way and get this up and running



Much thanks for accommodating my complete lack-of-clues…
