Hi Arjen: It's a long shot, but there was some purpose to my question. So please answer it with the _exact_ command (test-drv-info + argument), that was run by make VERBOSE=1 including the directory the command was run in. test-drv-info is simply a renamed version of get-drv-info with no actual code changes. So it bothers me that there is absolutely no error message from it. (There have always been such error messages in the past if something was wrong with the dynamic loading or with the argument that was used.) What happens if you use a different/wrong argument to it? Do you get an error message then, and if so what? I made some minor CMake changes to the way the code is built and run so probably the best bet is there is something wrong there for the Cygwin case (but not for the actual C-code itself). >> >> If our build system chooses libltdl, do you have the latest/greatest >> version >> installed properly? >> > > Quite probably it is an old one, but as I said before: it has worked in > a previous build.

I have just double-checked by downloading get-drv-info.c (revision 9475) from our repository and it is identical to test-drv-info.c. So the issue is not due to a code change between get-drv-info.c and test-drv-info.c. Alan __________________________ Alan W.
