Hi Folks,
I took the plunge and installed. My first thought was "er, it don't work". Some notes for the record before I forget them... Debug build: "makeg.sh install" strips targets. Perhaps not all but it is passing "-s" to 'install'. Installation (debug or normal): "make" does indeed relink (some) targets without apparent cause. Ditto on installation which of course has the potential to fail on (say) a bad foo<->foo.exe dependency. Last is the show-stopper. Trivial but "install -s" got me side-tracked: I've seen DLL's fail to load when stripped so went off on a wild goosechase when confronted with "c0000022" dialogs. XWin would start (we're invoking inside bash here) but all apps produced those undebuggable c0000022 accessed-denied dialogs(*). Solution trivial: installed DLL's require execute permissions. doh! However it may be that Setup could end up installing non-executable DLL's? (*) I dragged out a demo of W32dsm87 disassembler and exercised my non-existent Intel asm knowledge. Looks like we never get to program entry - only kernel32.dll loads: it must check perms on the bound DLL's then barfs. Couldn't work this backward because kernel32.dll vanishes leaving W32dsm87 staring at invalid memory. oh, I noticed "-L/usr/X11R6/lib" being passed. By design or should it be made to vanish? -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]
