As cygwin uses a decidedly odd naming convention for its dlls, I'd say
those parts of jc would need to be investigated. IIRC, Cygwin calles its
equivalent of libjavanio.so cygjavanio-0.dll.
So... what's an #ifdef one can use on cygwin to detect cygwin?
E.g. #ifdef WINDOWS or #ifdef CYGWIN or something? (This is hard
for me to fix right now because I don't have cygwin set up anywhere).
Presumably other VMs have the same issue (if they want to run
on cygwin). Has anyone already solved this problem?
Enrico: the relevant macro is _JC_LIBRARY_FMT in definitions.h.
Perhaps you can play with some possibilities there.

Hi Archie and Steph,
I found _JC_LIBRARY_FMT in arch_definitions.h and replaced .so with .dll.a,
which is the file extension of the dll libary created by Classpath.
Now I got an annoying problem on my WindowsXP Home Edition:
jc can't execute the libjavanio.dll.a library because "permission is
denied".
I tried to change the file access permission, from:
-rwxr--r-- /usr/local/classpath/lib/classpath/libjavanio.dll.a
to
-rwxr-xr-x /usr/local/classpath/lib/classpath/libjavanio.dll.a
but Cygwin doesn't let me do it because, I think, the user Enrico is not
the
Administrator. Then I tried to add a new user named Administrator but
Windows XP Home Edition doesn't let me do it because Administrator
exists already....
I think I have to retry on a Windows Professional Edition.
I'll do this job during the weekend.
ciao,
Enrico
