Cygwin does not use glibc. glibc is Linux-specifc. > Q1: is LD_PRELOAD available in cygwin? if yes, any hint's why it's not > working?

No, LD_PRELOAD is an aspect of ELF dynamic loaders and is not available on Windows. It's not something that Cygwin can provide since it is a function provided by the program loader, i.e. the operating system. If you have source of the target program and can modify it, then you can dlopen() the DLL and use dlsym() to get a function pointer to the replacement open() function, and then use that function pointer instead of the libcall throughout. But if you want this to be transparent, i.e. without modifying or recompiling the target, then you'll have to use some kind of low-level Windows-specific hackery because this is not a feature the PE loader has. http://research.microsoft.com/sn/detours/ http://www.internals.com/articles/apispy/apispy.htm Brian -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
