Re: Will using cygwin help with back-linking?

2004-04-09 Thread Frank Seesink
Jay, You're not the first to run into this. From all I've gathered/read, the short answer to your question whether Cygwin supports backlinking as you expect in most *nix environments is _no_. True, Windows does not support backlinking. True, you can play the libtools game, build a stub libra

Hey Larry, Basically, no, I haven't been able to reproduce it outside of Jabberd. Then again, I don't have a lot of custom source to compile/use. My simple test program (the one which loaded a DLL which in turn did a fork()) worked fine, but that was an uber-simple app. Jabberd fires up multi

QUESTION: Is there an issue in Cygwin 1.5.7 (and still in the 20040306 snapshot) that might cause a program which has been working back in November 2003 to suddenly stop doing so, specifically in its communication with a secondary executable which it forks/launches to do DNS resolution? Second

Igor, Just to be clear, I have now spent the better part of the day working on this, trying to fathom what's going on. All I can say is, cygrunsrv is doing _something_ differently when it comes to running Cygwin apps compared to running them from the BASH shell. I have now tested this every way f
