From: mbrett AT wren DOT rpms DOT ac DOT uk (Matthew Brett) Subject: Initialising gnuwin DLLs 28 Jan 1998 10:32:39 -0800 Message-ID: <199801281358.NAA07920.cygnus.gnu-win32@magpie.rpms.ac.uk> To: gnu-win32 AT cygnus DOT com Cc: juerg DOT tschirren AT isbe DOT ch, r_urbin1 AT ridgecrest DOT ca DOT us, tvoverbe AT wk DOT estec DOT esa DOT nl Dear All, >From some recent messages, it looks as though several of us are having difficulty using gnuwin DLLs with other software (such as VC++, matlab). Even something as innocent as a printf() command in the DLL causes a memory access crash, with errors like: The instruction at 0x1000c4ec referenced memory at 0x00000058 It's the same with many other functions: any file access function, malloc, pid, to name a random selection. However, although malloc() causes a crash, LocalAlloc does not. I / we were wondering whether this was a DLL initialisation problem, and whether anyone knows how to initialise a gnuwin DLL properly for use by non-gnuwin apps. Thanks for any help to the lost, Matthew Brett - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request AT cygnus DOT com" with one line of text: "help".
