RE: Using cygwin DLLs in no-cygwin applications
Hi Thomas,
It's been quite a while since I've last seen Pascal,
and fine if it works, but do you want gzip or bzip2?
Your code uses gzip, prefixing variables bz doesn't matter!
OK, not cygwin specific, but you might have overlooked...

However, if you really are stuck on the idea, google should give you all sorts of info. FYI, getting the symbol names will be extremely non-trivial. You could possibly post-filter the output with a shell script and the addr2line function. 'info binutils' will give you the (gasp!) documentation for addr2line. A google search will also unearth addr2line documentation. If you really want to do this programatically, you could use functions in the bfd library to decode your symbols. I'm not aware of any cookbook or simple documentation for bfd, though. However, the bfd library is part of the cygwin release. There is info documentation available and a google search will also uncover it on the web. For the record, I don't know anything about what is required to interface with bfd.

RE: cannot open output file a.exe: Permission denied
Hi Ethan, is the program still running?

RE: mmap of large amount returns invalid pointer
Hi Stephen and Corinna, looks like you have overlooked that mmap doesn't return NULL despite win32 error in strace (see below): c:\>net helpmsg 1455 The paging file is too small for this operation to complete.

RE: Suggestion for setup
Is there an easy and fast way to get the count of domain members only?

Hi Randall, no need to hack od because of endianess, we are on *nix after all, so pipe it thru: dd conv=swab If needed often, put it in a wrapper shell script or an alias!

Hi Pierre, It's been a long time since my last use of an xterm, but I remember that you can popup a menu with Ctrl/MB1 to send interrupt and a few other signals.

RE: /usr/bin/env - Incorrect parsing of #! line?
Hi,
another generic way would be a shell wrapper named "perl -w"
somewhere in the PATH e.g. /usr/local/bin,
so Peter wouldn't need to change a lot of scripts.
