Windows make fails

Windows make fails

[Jeff Furlong]

Hi All,
The latest fio version seems to fail building on Windows:

  LINK t/gen-rand
lib/pattern.o: In function `parse_number':
/fio-fio-2.8_win/lib/pattern.c:78: undefined reference to `strcasestr'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
Makefile:396: recipe for target 't/gen-rand' failed
make: *** [t/gen-rand] Error 1

Also, the Windows builds only seem to pick up the base version number (fio 2.7 or fio 2.8), not the latest git version (fio 2.8-123).  So the last release (e.g. 2.8) build cannot be distinguishable from the latest git version (e.g 2.8-123).

Thoughts on either issue?  Thanks.

Regards,
Jeff

Current -git should fix that.

Someone more knowledgable on the windows build needs to answer that... 
Bruce, would adding the -git version be easy enough to do? It's 
available in the FIO_VERSION define.

The Windows fio binary should have the full version - I'll check when I 
get some time.

The current git fixes the Windows build error.

However, the current git build on Windows only shows fio version 2.8.

Jeff
