c++ - Missed functions in libraries

Hi,

I recently verified compilation of MegaPOV (command line version) with 
Digital Mars C++ compiler/linker and found two problems:
- function atof is in headers but is not in linked library
- function unlink is in headers but is not in linked library
More details can be found at: 
http://megapov.inetart.net/manual/binaries.html#windows_compile

Is there any simple explanation for this or some ommision on my side?

I'll check it out. Thanks.

(unlink() is no longer necessary, use the standard function remove())

I will also try to make a GUI version of MegaPOV/POV-Ray. I hope there will 
be no more problems.

I already wrote it at mentioned url :-)

Also for atof I used workaround with sscanf() to get working binaries.

  #if defined( __DMC__ ) && defined( LACK_OF_ATOF_IN_DMC_PATCH )
    if (sscanf( Local_C_String, "%g", &Val)!=1) 
    {
      Error("Wrong float value");
    }
  #else
    Val = atof(Local_C_String);
  #endif

strtod() is a much better replacement for atof().
