dlopen error with nested dll's

I'm trying to dlopen a .dll which depends on another .dll, and am getting a "Win32 error 127". I'm not totally sure I am building the dll's correctly, so that might be one source of the problem. This is with Cygwin version 1.3.10, gcc version 2.95.3-5, dlltool version 2.11.92, and Windows NT 4.0.

Do you have a correct /etc/passwd file? That file lists your home directory, but if cygwin cannot access your home dir, it might give that error. Also, is $HOME defined in your environment? You could define it in windows or in the cygwin.bat file. HTH, Peter Joel Bushart wrote: > - Origi
