I have cygwin1.dll, nothing else. THE PROBLEM: I want to link some code in VSC++ to the cygwin1.dll file, but I don't have an improt library (cygwin1.lib) file to go with it. As I understand it, I *MUST* have the lib to make the link work. WHAT I'VE TRIED: I tried doing an 'nm cygwin1.dll....' command w/sed & all that, BUT it seemed to respond as though cygwin1.dll had been stripped. WHAT I'M PONDERING: SO: I am left wondering: Is there a DEF and a LIB out there for cygwin1.dll? If not, how do I generate them myself without having to re-compile the cygwin1 dll? Any help would be much appreciated...
