I am trying to get the system() call working in my driver which I am running in
a DOS terminal. For the sake of not porting out all of cygwin libraries and
executables, I am trying to narrow down to a set of dll's and exe's required
for my driver and only include those in my path. What I have gathered so far
with the help of cygcheck is that I will need cyggcc_s-1.dll, cygiconv-2.dll,
cygintl-8.dll, cygncurses-9.dll, cygreadline7.dll, cygwin1.dll, and sh.exe
since system() executes the given command in a shell. My questions are as
follows:
1) What .dll's and/or .exe's am I missing to be able to run the driver in a non
cygwin command prompt?
2) Is it possible to run my driver (see below) in a non-cygwin prompt with a
reduced set of cygwin dll's and .exe's?
3) If the system() call doesn't work when used in a non-cygwin environment, is
there a windows native system() equivalent call I can use?
...
My suggestion:
* Drop the dependency on sh.exe by using one of the exec() calls
rather than system().
* Apply static linking: gcc -static -static-libgcc ..., so you'll
only need cygwin1.dll
