Yeah, that's what I was trying tro explain in my first reply.  Did you
see the three potential problems I outlined?  You'll have to debug what
the actual problem is.

The Cygwin DLL is the core DLL providing the POSIX environment
(/usr/bin/cygwin1.dll).  If you build a normal application under Cygwin,
you link against the Cygwin DLL the usual way and that's fine.  "at
runtime dynamically" means, your application is a native, non-Cygwin
binary and you try to load the Cygwin DLL at runtime via the Windows
call LoadLibrary (kind of like dlopen()).  Given your description that's
not the case for you, so nothing to worry about.  Just ignore this.

But that gives me an idea.  Assuming you don't link against this camera
DLL, but rather use dlopen/dlsym to fetch and use the entry points to
that DLL, does it work then?  That would be another thing you could try.

But I assume there's something simple going on.  Try if one of my
other points give a clue.  You could also run your applications under
strace or GDB...
