I have a program that is originally written for EMX, and it uses findfirst/findnext to read diretories. When I ported it to Linux, I used opendir/readdir, but since that requires extra overhead (with filtering out the files I actually want), I want to use findfirst/findnext also under CygWin. I found prototypes for _findfirst and _findnext in mingw32/dir.h, but it doesn't compile with those, even when I try to include -lmingw32 to the gcc command line. It *did* compile with -lcrtdll, but then the program crashes with an unhandled exception on startup. The program in question is a console-mode application. I am using a configure script to try to figure out what is available or not, has anyone ported autconf to work with Cygwin? Also, is there any documentation that is downloadable (as opposed to the several-HTML-document things on the Cygnus website)? Please reply with a Cc to my address, since I have not decided whether to start to subscribe to this mailinglist yet...
