The change seems to be a bit more drastic than that implies to me. I
believe that previously dlopen searched $PATH before, but it doesn't any
more.
I have a Cygwin program that loads a Windows DLL (afsauthent.dll) that
it used to find via the $PATH (found in C:\Program Files\OpenAFS\Common,
which OpenAFS adds to the Windows PATH, and is inherited by Cygwin).
That stopped working recently (Win32 error 126), probably when I updated
to cygwin-1.5.17-1 (I can check if this is in any doubt).
I can get it working again if I add /cygdrive/c/Program
Files/OpenAFS/Common to $LD_LIBRARY_PATH by hand.
Is this change deliberate? I would have thought that "Windows
compatibility" ought to include searching the PATH.
Regards,
Tim.
