This also happens when your compiler doesn't have that function at
all - for example, scandir exists under most *nix systems, but I'm not
sure about windows - which you're using. You might try and find a similar
function.

Alphasort is a simple comparison method which is included with the
scandir function. If it doesn't exist, and your scandir function needs a
sorting pattern, just write a quick alphasort function for yourself -
int (*compar)(const struct dirent **, const struct dirent **) -
and you'll be okay.

Ah - this one I kow for sure.. vc5.0 does not have the strcasecmp
function. instead, it's something like _stricmp(), for string (case
insensitive) comparison. - you can also change it to use circle's built in
str_cmp, which should work on any system.
I'm pretty sure the readme file says something about it not
necessarily working correctly for windows95.
