Looks like I was missing -static-libgcc!!!! Using export CFLAGS='-static -static-libgcc' and everything compiled. Best part is the service started.

Thanks Nick, I'd like give static linking a go in the short term and watch this space. It looks like this isn't as straightforward on Cygwin as I'd expected. I've set CFLAGS=-static in order to do this but the configure script then fails checking for gcc... gcc checking whether the C compiler works... no configure: error: in `/cygdrive/c/tmp/gearmand-0.14': configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables See `config.log' for more details. The details from config.log are as follows ... configure:3898: $? = 1 configure:3918: checking whether the C compiler works configure:3940: gcc -static conftest.c >&5 /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/4.3.4/../../../../i686-pc-cygwin/bin/ld: cannot find -lgcc_s /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/4.3.4/../../../../i686-pc-cygwin/bin/ld: cannot find -lgcc_s collect2: ld returned 1 exit status configure:3944: $? = 1 configure:3982: result: no configure: failed program was: | /* confdefs.h */ | #define PACKAGE_NAME "gearmand" | #define PACKAGE_TARNAME "gearmand" | #define PACKAGE_VERSION "0.14" | #define PACKAGE_STRING "gearmand 0.14" | #define PACKAGE_BUGREPORT "https://launchpad.net/gearmand"; | #define PACKAGE_URL "" | /* end confdefs.h. */ | | int | main () | { | | ; | return 0; | } Looks like I'll have to give the Cygwin list a go :( Cheers Chris -----Original Message----- From: owner-libevent-us...@freehaven.net [mailto:owner-libevent-us...@freehaven.net] On Behalf Of Nick Mathewson Sent: Tuesday, 7 September 2010 2:28 AM To: libevent-us...@freehaven.net Subject: Re: [Libevent-users] What's the story with cygevent-1-4-2.dll?

I'd guess that the DLL search path is different when you're invoking it from the cygwin command line and when it's getting run by the NT service code. This isn't a libevent issue per se. To get you started, you can check out the msdn article at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/7d83bc18(VS.80).aspx , and try to figure out which of these options is under your control when running as a service. Alternatively, if disk space isn't too tight, you could just link your program against libevent statically, and ignore the DLL issues completely. > I've tried running the service using my login credentials (just in case there > is something about my environment I'm overlooking) but this fails with a > login error. > > Also, the cygevent-1-4-2 dlls are in /usr/local/bin; is this correct? Somebody else might be able to answer this one; I haven't used cygwin in ages. Re the issues in your other message: it looks like we've got some timing/DNS portability issues on cygwin. None of them look like they're going to break typical programs, but it would be neat if somebody wanted to track them down sometime and fix them. We've been doing our windows testing on mingw and msvc, but this is supposed to be a portability library after all. hth, -- Nick *********************************************************************** To unsubscribe, send an e-mail to majord...@freehaven.net with unsubscribe libevent-users in the body. ______________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System.
