Hi Team, I'm new here, but have dabbled in Cygwin for a few years. I hope someone more knowledgeable than myself can help with with this issue which is quite frankly baffling me for the past few weeks.
The problem I have can be reduced to this: I compile a simple "Hello World" console mode c program. I copy the .exe file and cygwin1.dll onto an embedded PC, open a console window, and run the program. The program runs, and returns immediately to the command prompt, with no output. No error messages, no nothing... I can do the same on any desktop PC running Windows XP, or 7, my "Hello World" runs as expected. The embedded PC is currently running a full installation of Windows XP Professional, SP3. It does so quite happily. It's CPU is DM&P Vortex86MX+ 933MHz. I am able to run a "Hello World" program compiled with a native Windows compiler on it successfully. In discussing this with the embedded PC supplier, he suggests that the cygwin1.dll is exiting because it doesn't recognise the CPU. Is this explanation plausible? And if it is, is there a solution available, or must I give up on using cygwin for this application? Thanks for yout time.
