Where does it need to go? Relating to Randall's comments about distributing cygwin developed s/w, if I create something that relies on cygwin1.dll, I should put it under the GPL and release the source code with it and then include cygwin1.dll? Is this how it is done? Also, is there any documentation on using the cygwin java compiler, especially to create native code. This is the primary reason I recently installed the newer cygwin stuff. The project I am currently working on, mostly for my own person use, though if it benefited the world I would release it, is to allow me to add a context menu item (http://tinyurl.com/3rc7) in IE Add to Save Queue, for example, and when this was selected for a link, a program would be activated the would add this link and the associated name to a queue and proceed to download and save it to a file with the name of the link on the page. For example, suppose: a href=http://www.foobarnews.com/iceman122202.htm;Scientists Thaw out Ice Age Caveman/a it would download the file from http://www.foobarnews.com/iceman122202.htm and save it to a file Scientists Thaw out Ice Age Caveman without having to ask me what filename to use. (Unless of course there was already another Scientists Thaw out Ice Age Caveman file.) I have a lot of s/w development packages (MSVB 6.0 Learning Edition, Borland C++ Builder 3, cygwin, JDK 1.1, J2SDK 1.4.1 (I just downloaded this one), Borland JBuilder 7 Personal, Digital Mars D, Javascript via IE or Opera, Squeak), all free stuff except the VB and BCB, but each seemed to lack something to do what I have been wanting to do earlier with regard to a spidering tool (http://tinyurl.com/3rc3). The BCB 3 doesn't have much (any?) support for downloading web pages (and I am not looking to spend several hundred dollars necessary to buy the new version to be able to download pages easier from IE), the Java won't let me save files, unless I use java.exe to run them (which I am not sure I can legally distribute, if I made a project worth of doing so) or compile in native mode (which the JDK1.1 doesn't do and I don't think the J2SDK does either). The Javascript won't let me save files either. I have no idea what Squeak will do (I don't know Smalltalk) or what libraries are distributed with D (I have not written anything in either of these) and the BJB will produce native code, but if I choose to distribute it, I can't under the free license. That leaves me with cygwin and VB. At the time I wanted to build the webtool earlier this year, I couldn't get the documentation on VB working and I purchased it at a Computer City (that had just become CompUSA because of the merger) in Sept. 98 and I never got it to register with MS then or even now, though I have found the documentation on msdn's website and a couple of free books http://www.mvps.org/vb/hardcore/index.html and http://tinyurl.com/3rcv (=VB 5), so if necessary, I could give that

I meant to just copy it not move it outright, as far as unstability I have been using cygwin for quite a long time and have had no probs with this. Even when you upgrade the cygwin package and install it, it will ask you if you would like to remove the old dll from the system32 folder. Then you could just do a copy of the new one. That said you could just make a copy of it to the folder where your executable is it will work there to. Thanks for your time.

RE: Running cygwin built programs in Windows XP
Pharas, Larry is correct. You are not. Problems do occur with multiple copies of Cygwin1.dll on a system. We see it here all the time. Cygwin relies on a shared memory segment and when there's more than one copy of the DLL on a given system, eventually a second one will get loaded, try to initialize itself and either fail or interfere with the one that's already loaded and initialized. If you want to do this, it's no skin off our nose, but DON'T recommend that others do so.

Re: Running cygwin built programs in Windows XP
John, Cygwin is a POSIX emulation environment for Windows. By default, the C / C++ compiler, linker and libraries all supply some portion or aspect of that emulation and the primary runtime component of the emulation is the Cygwin1.dll. If you want to create Windows-native applications using Cygwin tools but which will not be Cygwin executables (i.e., that will be independent of Cygwin during execution) there's a compiler option -mno-cygwin which triggers a whole series of variant compilation and linking procedures designed to produce executables that are independent of the Cygwin runtime. It sounds like that's the option you need to use to achieve the results you desire. If, however, you want a program that has all the POSIX capabilities provided by Cygwin itself, then you're bound to executing in a Cygwin environment, and that means at an absolute minimum, the presence of Cygwin1.dll and, if you're distributing this software, conformance with the Cygwin license's redistribution terms. The horns of a dilemma, you say? Nonsense! It's the best of both worlds! Randall Schulz At 16:41 2002-12-21, John Seeliger wrote: How do I run a program that I built with gcc under Cygwin in Windows?
