Hello Ian, Elliott, now I (learned some GDB, btw, Elliott - ty a lot for the compiler options for GCC) debugged also the C side of the Elephant under LWW-32bit/BDB 4.7.25 and... everything looks ok as ordered by the Lisp-side of the inteface - all parameters to the db_env_open are passed as expected (the pathname of the home dir, the flags (1493 = create t & init-mpool t & thread t & init-lock t & init-log t & init-txn t & recover t) as well the ENV object...
So - it seems - it's not an even an UFFI problem - either BDB on Windows expects some additional setup in the ENV which is not yet in the Lisp code (except the max-transactions and max-locks which I don't know why also give the error 22 : Invalid argument) or if not in the ENV struct - using may be some additional API call.... So - I'm going now to delve in the BDB doc. Hopefully I see something which we miss.
