Thanks Mickey, your load script was the key to success. I've
got coolview compiling now sweetly on W95!
For those who might be interested, I give a quick repeat of
things I had to do after downloading and extracting
the coolview-src.tar on my PC with as starting point
the original cygwin b18 binary distribution and bash
correctly installed, so compiling both C and C++ is no problem..
1) go to the cdk/ directory and run ./configure
2) go to cdk/winsup/ had to modify the .cc.o rule to explicitly
specify g++ as compiler, and romover the -nostdinc++
from its INCLUDES
3) made a cdk/libiberty/ directory, and placed the libiberty.a
library in it. You also have to extract the .o files
there with ar x libiberty.a, as the make process looks for them.
The missing libiberty problem was just signalled on the mailing-list
and I forgot to mention this hack in an earlier posting
4) again adapt the makefile in the winsup/ directory, now
by modifying the loader specification LD=<.some path.>/ld.exe
into LD=<.some path>/ld.exe -T <.other path.>/lib/ldscripts/i386pe.xfixed
The i386pe.xfixed is the corrected loader script as submitted
by Mickey (jeffdb AT netzone DOT com) in hist'Re: compiling coolview on W95'
message.
this problem solves the corrupt .dll problem on W95; where the other
hacks from this mailing list (like dllfix.exe) failed.
It then makes very nicely.
