C standard C89 had strtod but not strtof. Strtof appears in the C99 standard. The strtod returns a double type while strtof returns a float. For most practical purposes you can substitute (float)strtod(...) for strtof(...). There might be a difference in what happens on errors, particularly if the converted result won't fit in a float variable, but this is not a likely problem if the author has chosen to use float rather than double. In most cases the cast (float) can be omitted. I suggest you edit the application source to use strtod.

Problem compiling code in freeBSD 4,9 strtof related.
Hi, I am trying to compile the BhPos software (Point of Sale for Linux. But I need the strtof function , but FreeBSD 4,9 does not have this function, it is possible to install it taking the source code from the 5.X FreeBSD branch? here is my cc output: cc -O -pipe -DLIBC_RCS -DSYSLIBC_RCS -I/usr/src/lib/libc/include -D__DBINTERFACE_PRIVATE -DINET6 -DPOSIX_MISTAKE -I/usr/src/lib/libc/../libc/locale -DBROKEN_DES -DYP -c /usr/src/lib/libc/../libc/stdlib/strtof.c -o strtof.o In file included from /usr/include/gdtoaimp.h:180, from /usr/src/lib/libc/../libc/stdlib/strtof.c:38: /usr/include/gdtoa.h:41: arith.h: No such file or directory In file included from /usr/src/lib/libc/../libc/stdlib/strtof.c:38: /usr/include/gdtoaimp.h:194: un-namespace.h: No such file or directory In file included from /usr/src/lib/libc/../libc/stdlib/strtof.c:38: /usr/include/gdtoaimp.h:278: syntax error before `one' /usr/include/gdtoaimp.h:278: syntax error before `IBM' /usr/include/gdtoaimp.h:281: syntax error before `}' *** Error code 1 hope some one has a clue about how to solve this with out installing FreeBSD 5.x thanks in advance.
