Any commercial software using licenced cygwin1.dll versions may cause trouble, but there is no excuse for folk redistributing the net release (GPL cywin1.dll) to conflict with the cygwin setup.exe environment. Rob ----- Original Message ----- From: "Franz Wolfhagen" To: Sent: Tuesday, July 09, 2002 9:35 PM Subject: Re: Concurrent versions of cygwin1.dll on one system Be aware that there is commercial software that uses the cygwin1.dll. One example is Tivoli Framework from IBM (which I happens to work with proffesionally...). To ensure that a dll is not interfering with other versions of the same dll you must ensure that it is located in a directory that by default is NOT included in the windows path. You should aælso familiarize yourself with terms of dll search sequence and private dlls. This will help you understand how to avoid conflicts of this kind. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
