swprintf and vswprintf not declared?

Question

I am trying to compile Botan on Windows with MinGW, and am receiving the following error during compilation:

c:\qt\2010.04\mingw\bin\../lib/gcc/mingw32/4.4.0/include/c++/cwchar:159: error:
'::swprintf' has not been declared
c:\qt\2010.04\mingw\bin\../lib/gcc/mingw32/4.4.0/include/c++/cwchar:166: error:
'::vswprintf' has not been declared

Why are swprintf and vswprintf not declared, and how can I fix this?

Answer 1

Try putting in

#undef __STRICT_ANSI__ 

before including stdio.h

Answer 2

had the same problem compiling Grantlee using MinGW (Qt 2010.05).

How I got it to compile:

• find file cwchar (C:\\Qt\\2010.05\\mingw\\lib\\gcc\\mingw32\\4.4.0\\include\\c++\\cwchar)

• comment the following lines out (around line 160)

  using ::swprintf;

  using ::vswprintf;

Answer 3

When running make ensure that -ansi flag is not set. If this flag is being used then remove it and the problem will be solved.
