The magic incantation necessary to get strdup turns out to be -
D_GNU_SOURCE, as noted on StackOverflow.

However, now I'm encountering a problem with Python's DLL handling
code.  When attempting to run OCRmyPDF I get


$ ocrmypdf --help
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/ocrmypdf", line 11, in <module>

ocrmypdf.exceptions.MissingDependencyError:

---------------------------------------------------------------------
        This error normally occurs when ocrmypdf can't find the Leptonica
        library, which is usually installed with Tesseract OCR. It could
be that
        Tesseract is not installed properly, we can't find the installation
        on your system PATH environment variable.

        The library we are looking for is usually called:
            liblept-5.dll   (Windows)
            liblept*.dylib  (macOS)
            liblept*.so     (Linux/BSD)

        Please review our installation procedures to find a solution:
            https://ocrmypdf.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation.html

---------------------------------------------------------------------


In the last file of the traceback (leptonica.py) there's this:


from ctypes.util import find_library
...
if os.name == 'nt':
    libname = 'liblept-5'
    os.environ['PATH'] = shim_paths_with_program_files()
else:
    libname = 'lept'


In Cygwin, that library is /usr/bin/cyglept-5.dll (why was the name
changed?)

First I created a symlink from cyglept-5.dll to liblept-5.dll, with no
effect. So I added a test for Cygwin at that point, resulting in this
code:


if os.name == 'nt':
    libname = 'liblept-5'
    os.environ['PATH'] = shim_paths_with_program_files()
elif sys.platform == 'cygwin':
    libname = 'cyglept-5'
else:
    libname = 'lept'


This also had no effect, so I tried playing with find_library() in the
interactive shell.  In Cygwin, it doesn't seem to find any DLLs even
though those DLLs are actually loadable.  Viz:


$ python3
Python 3.7.7 (default, Apr 10 2020, 07:59:19)
[GCC 9.3.0] on cygwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import os
>>> import sys
>>> from ctypes import *
>>> from ctypes.util import find_library
>>> find_library('cyglept-5') or 'Not found'
'Not found'
>>> find_library('cyglept-5.dll') or 'Not Found'
'Not Found'
>>> cdll.LoadLibrary('cyglept-5.dll') or 'Not Found'
<CDLL 'cyglept-5.dll', handle 3f7970000 at 0x6fffffea76d0>


So it appears to me that possibly find_library() is broken because
it doesn't find the library, but yet Python can actually load the
library.

What am I missing?
