Greetings, I am having a hell of time trying to build a vendor-supplied perl module under gcc in cygwin. I know it compiles with gcc under Linux and Unix, as well as with VC under windows. I'm using cygwin 1.7.9 and gcc 4.3.4. This is 64-bit windows.
The module creates a .dll which needs to link to one other vendor supplied library for which I have the .dll and .lib import library. I'm using the 32-bit version of the library I need. I have managed to get as far as building the module .dll but when I try to load it, I get (module is called "MOD" below): Can't load 'blib/arch/auto/MOD/MOD.dll' for module MOD: Exec format error at /usr/lib/perl5/5.10/i686-cygwin/DynaLoader.pm line 200. When I look at the MOD.dll with ldd, I get: ntdll.dll => /cygdrive/c/Windows/SysWOW64/ntdll.dll (0x77c40000) kernel32.dll => /cygdrive/c/Windows/syswow64/kernel32.dll (0x76020000) KERNELBASE.dll => /cygdrive/c/Windows/syswow64/KERNELBASE.dll (0x77420000) ??? => ??? (0x6e300000) which doesn't look good. It's not clear to me which flags I need to pass to gcc. I believe that I shouldn't use "-mdll" any more. I tried "-shared" but this gives me undefined SSP symbols. nm output for MOD.dll looks normal. Any ideas appreciated. -- Dr Philip Kime -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
