Visual Studio and GCC - Compiler differences

when compiling in VS i get no error but with gcc i get the following:

warning: format ‘%Lf’ expects argument of type ‘long double *’, but argument 2 has type ‘double *’ [-Wformat=]
  scanf("%Lf",&checkprice);
  ^
/tmp/cch8NUeU.o: In function `main':
test.c:(.text+0x8e1): undefined reference to `stricmp'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

I guess this is normal. How can i fix it in gcc?

stricmp() is not a standard function, though there is a POSIX equivalent strcasecmp() so for your code to compile seamlessly with both compilers you can add something like this

#ifdef __GNUC__
#define _stricmp strcasecmp
#endif

and use _stricmp() since stricmp() was deprecated.

Also fix the scanf() format specifier, or change the destination variable type to long double.
