Jeff Pohlmeyer gave me a short program demonstrating the use of the readline
and history libraries, the program begins:
program histdemo;
{$LINKLIB ncurses}
{$LINKLIB readline}
{$LINKLIB history}
{$LINKLIB c}
It works great on Linux but I haven't been able to figure out how to get it to
work under Cygwin. I have the libraries in c:\cygwin\lib (e.g.,
libncurses.dll.a) and I have found different forms that allow the program to
link (e.g., "{$LINKLIB ncurses.dll.a}" or "{$LINKLIB libncurses.dll.a}") but
when I run the program I get a Windows dialog titled "Unable To Locate
Component" and displaying "This application has failed to start because
readline.dll was not found..."
I know very little about Windows programming or linking external libraries...
any thoughts would be appreciated!
