Dear Cygwin-Support!
Dear Christopher Faylor,
we at OSC have bought 2000 seats of Cygwin for our product development.
We have developed a lot of functionality under Solaris, so we use Cygwin for
the NT-Port.
We also have a separate platform independent GUI development with QT
(Trolltech) and C++.
It is not possible to compiler/or use QT under Cygwin. So we have developed
the GUI
with QT under Visual C++. In order to access our ported functionality we
have built a DLL
under Cygwin (1.1.4 and 1.1.8) with the dlltool. Then we have linked the DLL
in our QT Visual C++
Project and we could link an executable. But it crashed! Then we tried a
simple function without
Cygwin specific parts as a DLL (same procedure). It worked. Then we used the
fprintf() function
in the Cygwin world in the DLL and it crashed again. So we tried if Visual
C++ is the problem or not.
And it is not the problem, because we have linked the simple DLL in a Cygwin
C++ (G++) program,
-> same crash!

Please give us an advise how we can generate a running DLL under Cygwin (in
C) in  order to
use it in a Visual C++ project.

If you need more information I can send you the error messages and a
description of
how we have generated the DLL.

I really hope you can help us, because we have some hard deadlines.
Thanks
Hans Juergen Holberg
