Subject: DLL Helpers v0.2.5
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

Hi,

are the 'DLL Helpers v0.2.5' supposed to work with the latest Cygwin
release as available from the Cygnus WebSite (using this new Net-Setup
thing) ?
I did a fresh install of it and cannot get DLLs working anymore (I had
some makefiles myself which do not work anymore and dllhelpers don't
work either ..)

Some logs are below, I guess the problem is the ld warning about the
entry point, but I don't know what to do against it.

When I start usedll I get a Windows error panel (in German) basically
saying that the cdll.dll is not correctly programmed and that the
stackpointer is passed in an inconsistent state. It says further that
the entrypoint should be defined as WINAPI or STDCALL. Then I can choose
to continue or to abort where continue leads to a program stop ...

Thanks for any suggestion,
  Helge

ps: all this is on NT4, SP6.
