I compiled the "cygload" package (it is supposed to be the way to load
cygwin1.dll and have the 4K scratch space) under MSVC and generated
msvc-cygload.exe. The execution result is:
Connecting to cygwin...
Warning! Stack base is 00140000. padding ends at 0013FFC0. Delta is 64. Stac
k variables could be overwritten!
Loading cygwin1.dll...
Initializing cygwin...
There should be more information after the last line (I wrote lines that should
appear and they do not). I DO need to use cout and cerr because the application
using cygwin1.dll and my own dll depending on cywing is a command-prompt
application.
How can I write to the command-prompt??
Thanks and G'Bye
