my main program 'mpsvcd.exe' dynamically loads a shared library using dlopen(). one of the functions from this shared library calls popen() to read the standard output from another executable - and this fails with the error messages listed below! using system() instead of popen() to start the executable works fine, except that i can't read it's standard output. what's the difference between using popen() and system() here? under linux popen() works also!
any hints? some more infos: my main program and the shared library are built with cygwin, while the called executable is a Win32 exe file. error output: C:\cygwin\opt\topcall\bin\mpsvcd.exe (1340): *** unable to remap C:\cygwin\bin\cygintl-2.dll to same address as parent(0x1CC0000) != 0x1CD0000 1884 [main] mpsvcd 2308 sync_with_child: child 1340(0x63C) died before initialization with status code 0x1 18224 [main] mpsvcd 2308 sync_with_child: *** child state child loading dlls EXCEPTION - reason: popen() failed for command '/opt/topcall/bin/mytest.exe': Resource temporarily unavailable -- Rainer Hochreiter Research & Development TOPCALL Internation AG A-1230 Vienna, Talpagasse 1 Phone: +43 1 86353 198 Fax: +43 1 86353 8198 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] WWW: http://www.topcall.com -- 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/
