win32 api
Hi all Does anyone know where I can find some references to API calls such as those exported with /usr/include/w32api/winreg.h ? I'm rather curious as to what the parameters are intended for... not all of them are obvious.

building dll's under cygwin
Hi all Seems I've been on the receiving end of all the advice so far.. hope this will change in the future :) Until then.. here is the next piece of pain ;) I use the autotools(all of them) to build my project. I've read the whole of chapter 25 of the Autobook-1.3, and all I could find on dll's in the faq and in this list's archives.. and I'm still stumped :( Here is what my compiler tells me: cd . \ CONFIG_FILES= CONFIG_HEADERS=config.h \ /bin/sh ./config.status creating config.h config.h is unchanged make all-recursive make[1]: Entering directory `/cygdrive/e/projects/myproject' Making all in libsrc make[2]: Entering directory `/cygdrive/e/projects/myproject/libsrc' /bin/sh ../libtool --mode=link c++ -g -O2 -o libpmfp.la -rpath /usr/local/lib --no-undefined --version-info 0:0:0 common.lo pmfp.lo pmfp_log.lo crypto.lo mckey.lo libtool: link: warning: undefined symbols not allowed in i686-pc-cygwin shared libraries rm -fr .libs/libpmfp.la .libs/libpmfp.* .libs/libpmfp.* ar cru .libs/libpmfp.a common.o pmfp.o pmfp_log.o crypto.o mckey.o ranlib .libs/libpmfp.a creating libpmfp.la (cd .libs rm -f libpmfp.la ln -s ../libpmfp.la libpmfp.la) make[2]: Leaving directory `/cygdrive/e/projects/myproject/libsrc' make[2]: Entering directory `/cygdrive/e/projects/myproject' cd . \ CONFIG_FILES= CONFIG_HEADERS=config.h \ /bin/sh ./config.status creating config.h config.h is unchanged make[2]: Leaving directory `/cygdrive/e/projects/myproject' make[1]: Leaving directory `/cygdrive/e/projects/myproject' Now, from what I understand, the --no-undefined switch should pre-empt any warning: undefined symbols ... warnings. I suspect if this is solved, then the dll will be created. In my configure.in i do have AC_LIBTOOL_WIN32_DLL, which seems to be the only major thing to look out for.

Re: w32api header problems
Hi To fix the min and max, define the following before including windows.h: #define NOMINMAX added that... waiting for compile to complete (Working on a VM... takes forever :) and tada! It's happy and so am I!

I can only deduce that windows.h is leaving an JlR open ifdef or has unterminated strings or something silly. it's easy to find out what the reason is. gcc has a very useful option '--save-temps'. it instructs preprocessor, compiler and assembler to leave their temporary files in place, so if you compiling, say, zzz.c, you'll get zzz.i (output of preprocessor), zzz.s (assembly source -- output of compiler) and zzz.o (compiled binary object). You want to look into zzz.i it shows what your source file turns into, and it's almost always easy to see why. Fair enough.. but how do i turn it on with autotools.. configure does not seem to support such a flag. -- Jean le Roux Binary Entropy Catalyst Cellular: 083 505 6443 A sad spectacle.

cygwin console
Hi all Here's another newbie question.. I could find no help in the FAQ for this: Are there any better cygwin consoles out there that the default one that's installed off the web ? It's rather limited and slows down development :(. I'd love something with a scrollback history for instance, or simply more displayed lines.
