I know very little about VS, and was surprised when my linux code did not compile on windows. The problem seams from the lack of <complex.h> in VS. My question is this: do people re-implement in their Windows applications, or is there a public domain version.

A:
<complex.h> is a new feature of ISO/IEC 9899:1999 and Visual Studio (at least up to 2008) only supports ISO/IEC 9899:1990 with some extensions, so complex.h isn't supported.

A:
If you have the option of using C++ instead of C, you can use the complex header. Visual C++ supports C89, but not C99, where complex.h is defined.
If C++ is not an option, you can either use another compiler (there are Windows ports of GCC available, for example), or try to find a third-party implementation.

c++ is not an option, and neither is compiling via gcc

A:
since C++ is not an option, and neither is GCC, can't you just... Download the header, and include it into your project yourself: #include"complex.h"? You could download a minimal version of MinGW and just copy the header file over.

this answer is wrong: you cannot just use complex.h to get complex support.If you can't use gcc and can't use C++, the only solution is to drop support for C99 complex.

Well, I wasn't sure when I posted this answer, it was just a thought that I didn't see elsewhere. Can you be specific as to why it can't be done? Or edit the answer?
