How can this link order be changed so that the cygwin dll is linked in first? > It could certainly be a problem if a cygwin-based dll > gets initialised earlier in the link order than the cygwin dll itself. Just for comparison, here is the cygcheck output for my running "hello world" program: $ cygcheck /tmp/hello.exe C:/cygwin/tmp/hello.exe C:\cygwin\bin\cygwin1.dll C:\WINDOWS\system32\ADVAPI32.DLL C:\WINDOWS\system32\ntdll.dll C:\WINDOWS\system32\KERNEL32.dll C:\WINDOWS\system32\RPCRT4.dll > I'm going to have to take a guess here: did the instructions tell you to > use "-mno-cygwin" in the compiler flags? No. And I did not use that flag. Maybe you could try to compile and run that program at your site? Maybe my environment is somehow broken. I could send you the sources and my cygwin Makefile via private email. Cheers, Hans -- GMX FreeMail: 1 GB Postfach, 5 E-Mail-Adressen, 10 Free SMS.
