I am using MSYS2 mingw 64 when compiling code that needs the header random.h
I am trying to make that code work on both Linux and windows with the least amount of changes
#include <sys/random.h>
#include <time.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
int main()
{
srand(time(NULL));
return 0;
}
I ran this command pacman -S msys2-runtime-devel
to download the random.h
header file and it is located in sys official link
on linux, the file is included using #include <linux/random.c>
but I don't know what to use on windows or if I have to do something completely different
When I comment the first line I get this warning
main.c:10:9: warning: implicit declaration of function 'srand' [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
10 | srand(time(NULL));
| ^~~~~

As per the linked documentation,
Neither requires including random.h
or linux/random.c
.
