Hi. I have read all the FAQs and stuff. I have searched the web. I would like a step by step list of instructions to achieve the following.
I want to use check to test an MFC application. This means I must use the Visual Studio compiler, cl, and linker, link. Check calls fork(). This function is implemented in the cygwin1.dll. I cannot link using the DLL. I read somewhere that libcygwin.a is equivalent to the cygwin1.lib, but when I try and link against it I get all sorts of bizarre symbols not found. According to cygcheck, cygwin1.dll only has dependencies on standard Windows DLLs that I am already linking against. So how do I; a) obtain a version of cygwin1.lib that I can link against using the Visual Studio linker that will work nicely and neatly, or b) link against libcygwin.a using the Visual Studio linker.
