In cygwin 1.7: 1. download db-4.7.25 from oracle at http://www.oracle.com/database/berkeley-db/index.html (havn't tested on other version) 2. configure like : ../dist/configure --prefix=/home/Bambo/db-for-1.7 --enable-cxx --enable-pthread_api 3. make, it will take you a few minutes 4. write a program like : #include <db_cxx.h>
int main( void ) { Db db( NULL, 0 ); return 0; } 5.compile like :g++ -o t test.cpp -L/home/Bambo/db-for-1.7/lib -ldb_cxx -I/home/Bambo/db-for-1.7/include will compile and link ok with information: Info: resolving typeinfo for std::exception by linking to __imp___ZTISt9exception (auto-import) /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/4.3.2/../../../../i686-pc-cygwin/bin/ld: warning: auto-importing has been activated without --enable-auto-import specified on the command line. This should work unless it involves constant data structures referencing symbols from auto-imported DLLs. and the file t.exe can't run, direct run in windows command shell will report "can't load" with error code 0x00000005. ( use:"ldd t.exe" to find dlls used by the file will hung ldd) 6.compile like:g++ -o t test.cpp -L/home/Bambo/db-for-1.7/lib -ldb_cxx -I/home/Bambo/db-for-1.7/include -Wl,--enable-auto-import Then everything goes fine. ldd t.exe will report: $ ldd t.exe ntdll.dll => /cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32/ntdll.dll (0x7c920000) kernel32.dll => /cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32/kernel32.dll (0x7c800000) cygwin1.dll => /usr/bin/cygwin1.dll (0x61000000) ADVAPI32.DLL => /cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32/ADVAPI32.DLL (0x77da0000) RPCRT4.dll => /cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32/RPCRT4.dll (0x77e50000) Secur32.dll => /cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32/Secur32.dll (0x77fc0000) cyggcc_s-1.dll => /usr/bin/cyggcc_s-1.dll (0x67f00000) cygstdc++-6.dll => /usr/bin/cygstdc++-6.dll (0x6c480000) Who can tell me why??? Everything goes fine under cygwin 1.5 with gcc3(gcc4 not tested), even without "-Wl,--enable-auto-import" -- 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/
