Quoting Eric Lilja <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Hi Tomás and thanks for the quick reply. I tried setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH using $ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/dll-files (and then checking with $ echo LD_LIBRARY_PATH that it "stuck"), but the process still cannot find the DLL files. I am starting the process with strace so I am sure this is the problem, not something else. I guess I could temporarily modify the PATH but I'm interested in alternatives.
Although this is nothing specific to Cygwin: If you want to make the variable value available to processes which are executed subsequently, you need to export the variable, not just set it, as in:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/dll-files Alternatively, set the variable in the command line like this: LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/dll-files foo assuming that "foo" is the command to start the app which requires the dll. regards, Markus -- Markus Hoenicka [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Spam-protected email: replace the quadrupeds with "mhoenicka") http://www.mhoenicka.de -- 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/
