in this type of code:

Answer 1

add this to your precompiled header (or some other config.h)

#ifdef _MSC_VER 
//not #if defined(_WIN32) || defined(_WIN64) because we have strncasecmp in mingw
#define strncasecmp _strnicmp
#define strcasecmp _stricmp
#endif

Answer 2

Look for

int _stricmp(
   const char *string1,
   const char *string2 );
