Installation is simple (reboot is not required - tested with 2000/XP). $ ioperm -i Installing ioperm.sys... OpenSCManager ok CreateService ok StartService ok Installation ok. > 2. is likely a problem. Are you aware that w32api has some ddk support now? Yes. But this is only at .h level. I need a linker (binutils)... $ objdump -x ioperm.sys BFD: ioperm.sys (.text): Section flag IMAGE_SCN_MEM_NOT_PAGED (0x8000000) ignored BFD: ioperm.sys (.text): Section flag IMAGE_SCN_MEM_NOT_PAGED (0x8000000) ignored objdump: ioperm.sys: File format not recognized :-( > That might be a way around this problem. I'm unaware about any way to compile & link a device driver using cygwin-only tools :-( -- +-------------------------------------------+ | Marcel Telka e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | homepage: http://telka.sk/ | | jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | +-------------------------------------------+ -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
