Hello everyone,
If you're offended by things not entirely on topic, please stop
reading now with my apology. I can't think of a better group of
people to ask this UNIX/NT porting question, though.
My company has ported Tcl/Tk, Expect, tcl-dp, BLT, TclX and Tix to NT
using NuTCracker (hey, I wanted to use cygwin :-)). We added our own
extensions, too. Things run fine on our build machine. However when I
try to run it on our production machine it won't even load.
I've stepped throught the code in MSC++ and it dies with this message:
Unhandled Exception in hcitcl.exe (NTDLL.DLL): 0xC0000142: DLL
Initialization Failed.
However, if I press "F5" (go) in the debugger, the application
continues and runs fine! It looks like the NT loader isn't passing
control to NuTCRACKER properly. This dies in the code a long time
before main is called, so I'm having a terrible time debugging it.
The production machine is a Pentium Pro 200, ATX motherboard, 120Mb
RAM, SCSI HD. We're running NT Server 3.51 service pack 5.
My questions are these:
1) can someone explain what happens between when you start running an
app and main is reached?
2) any ideas on this problem?
3) any debugging tips or things I can try?
We're supposed to ship our product to a alpha test site on Thursday,
Jan, 30... A quick reply would be appreciated if you can add
*ANYTHING* at all.
Thanks in advance!
Rgds,
Bret
