Hi,

Symbian has its own C standard library implementation. The headers are located in Epoc32\Include\libc\. The libraries you need to link against are estlib.lib, and the static library ecrt0.lib.
So in the .mmp file, add:
LIBRARY estlib.lib
STATICLIBRARY ecrt0.lib

Note that the std libc is primarily meant to help with porting old software to Symbian, so when writing new applications its better to use the Symbian APIs.

Also see the stdlib examples in Epoc32Ex\stdlib\ and what SDK Help has to say about C Standard Library.
