OK, I think we need more info here: see http://cygwin.com/bugs.html and also tell us: * what Java VM are you using? * Why do you expect LD_LIBRARY_PATH to work on Windows?
Gilles, I must reiterate Ronald's suggestion. You've told us far too little to attempt a diagnosis.
Note that Cygwin is not the one that loads the libraries for you - that's Windows' job. I would be (very) surprised if you were using a VM running under Cygwin , and that VM uses dlopen() and not LoadLibrary() (in which case LD_LIBRARY_PATH would work, of course).
And here's what I told him:
Gilles,
I recommend that you address Cygwin issues and problems to the Cygwin mailing list: see <http://cygwin.com/ml/> and <http://cygwin.com/cygwin/lists.html> for details. The list you want is "cygwin," <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
That said, there's no reason you cannot set an environment variable in Cygwin that will be seen in a Java program launched from Cygwin.
However, I don't think that's the issue. Cygwin, in fact, is a red herring here. The Windows JVM from Sun is a Windows application, even if it's launched from Cygwin and even if you're using JNI libraries compiled under Cygwin using "gcc."
Again, there are some Java users on the Cygwin mailing list and some of them have produced JNI libraries using gcc. I suggest you ask for help there.
