From: jeffc AT crater DOT pcx DOT ncd DOT com (Jeff Coleman) Subject: Ensuring this is what I am really looking for... 21 Mar 1998 05:52:17 -0800 Message-ID: <9B5C03C3C410D011A7CC00A0242D951D20D59B.cygnus.gnu-win32@crater.pcx.ncd.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain To: "'gnu-win32 AT cygnus DOT com'" Group, I found the GNU-Win32 tools and library ports on the web and just wanted to clarify if this is, in fact, a solution to a problem I am having or if I am way off track. I have a normal NT DLL that is built under the MSVC environment and links with the standard libraries to run under NT. I need to make calls in my code that would normally be run on a Unix client (linked with GNU's libc) so I can communicate with a Unix server. What this encompasses is using an "NT'd" version of these calls. Is the cygwin.dll the ported version that I am looking for? If so, it is not clear to me as to how a normal NT Win32 app (or DLL, in my case) links with this library. Is there an import library (cygwin.lib) or are calls made using LoadLibrary() and GetProcAddress() into the cygwin.dll? Or am I completely off base? Please excuse my ignorance on this...I am digging for info.
