• using my nmake.opt file from ticket:27
• zoo_loader.cgi is generated, but zoo_loader.cgi.manifest is also generated
• problem is that both files must be moved to the cgi-bin (the manifest must instead be embedded in the executable)

Using Visual Studio 2012, the following compile error is thrown:

zoo_loader.c(395) : error C3861: 'strcasestr': identifier not found
zoo_loader.c(396) : error C3861: 'strcasestr': identifier not found
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: '"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\VC\BIN\cl.EXE"' : return code '0x2'
Stop.

I am attaching code from zoo_service_loader.c to possibly use...

The standard stdio functions are shadowed by the fcgi_stdio functions in some but not all parts of the ZOO kernel. As tested on Windows, running a service (e.g. longProcess) with storeExecuteResponse=true and status=true may fail because the ExecuteResponse? is not written to the temporary <service>_final_<pid>.xml file via redirection of stdout. Putting #include "cgic.h" in service_internal.h resolved this problem.

Update: In some services it may be necessary to use standard stdio. For example, Visual C++ has a superset of wide character print functions, not redefined in fcgi_stdio.h, that take FILE* as a parameter (not FCGI_FILE*). This can easily be resolved by putting #define NO_FCGI_DEFINES at the beginning of the service source code.
