Hi,
Here is some information on exception:
		  if (!hFFT) {
			hFFT = LoadLibrary("djbfft.dll");
			status = GetLastError();	// 998 invalid memory
access
			rfour2d = (RFOUR2D) GetProcAddress(hFFT,
"rfft2d_djb");
		  }

Hi, DJ:
I produced a DLL with two exported functions through
Cygwin.
I also generated import library for it.
When Windows application calls the function, I
immediately encountered exception.
I tried to call LoadLibrary() and got error 998 -
invalid memory access.

Any hint ?
Thanks

[Larry Hall]

If your DLL was built against the Cygwin DLL, you'll have difficulties
because the Cygwin DLL won't be loaded properly.  Try building with 
'gcc -mno-cygwin'.  Of course, if you need the POSIX APIs Cygwin 
provides, you'll now have to do some porting.

Re: DLL generation under Cygwin

[Ted Yu]

Hi, Larry:
If I use your flag, I got the following:
ld: warning: cannot find entry symbol fftEntry@12;
defaulting to 10001000
djbfft2d.o(.text+0x4d3):djbfft2d.cpp: undefined
reference to `_imp___iob'
djbfft2d.o(.text+0x50a):djbfft2d.cpp: undefined
reference to `_imp___iob'

BTW, I have this function:
int __stdcall fftEntry(HINSTANCE h, unsigned long a,
void * b)
Why is ld complaining that fftEntry@12 cannot be found ?

  This looks to me like you only re-tried the link stage; you need to
rebuild all the .o files from scratch using -mno-cygwin as well, otherwise
they'll still have references to cygwin stuff.

  Because gcc uses a different name-mangling scheme to msvc.

  Without knowing anything about your makefile or command line options, it's
a bit hard to give any more specific advice.  However I highly recommend you
read the "Programming Questions" section of the cygwin faq at
http://cygwin.com/faq/faq_4.html#SEC88, and the "Programming with Cygwin"
section of the userguide at
http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/programming.html, both of which contain lots
of advice about building dlls under cygwin.


    cheers, 
      DaveK

In the libc.a or *crt*.o appropriate for the platform (MinGW).

Where does gcc find free(), malloc() in this case ?
Thanks

<http://mingw.org/>.  This is what you invoke when you give the
-mno-cygwin flag to gcc.  Incidentally, once you eliminate Cygwin from the
equation, any further questions or problem reports about "gcc -mno-cygwin"
should go to the mingw-users list.

That's because you use "ld" instead of "gcc".  "gcc" (with appropriate
flags, i.e., "-mno-cygwin") should do the right thing.  You can also use
"gcc -shared" instead of dlltool, IIRC.

See above.  "gcc" does invoke "ld" under the covers, but it's very hard to
reconstruct the actual command line manually, so why not just use "gcc"?

If you mean "ld"'s option to set the start address, then "gcc" itself
doesn't, but you can pass it to "ld" via -Wl,-e...

If I omit libc.a, I get this:
ld: warning: cannot find entry symbol fftEntry@12;
defaulting to 10001000
djbfft2d.o(.text+0x3c0):djbfft2d.cpp: undefined

LIBS is empty. DLLNAME is djbfft.dll.

AS is as.

Any difference in doing so ? I got the above Makefile
from Cygwin FAQ. Does gcc accept -e option ?

Thanks

So does MSVCRT.dll, which is what MinGW uses for its runtime.

Why are you linking in libc.a explicitly?  The appropriate version should
be automatically linked in by the compiler.

It also looks like you're using the Cygwin version of "ld", and dlltool
will probably invoke the Cygwin versions of tools, too.  Try adding
-mno-cygwin to CC rather than CFLAGS, i.e.,

CC = gcc -mno-cygwin
CFLAGS = -O1 -fomit-frame-pointer -malign-double
...

and using $(CC) to link instead of $(LD) (you can pass flags to ld via
the -Wl,... options, IIRC).
