Hi All, I have a raw MSVC++ "inetd" type of process that listen()s on a TCP/IP port and calls _spawnlpe() for each connection. The spawned process is a cygwin process. By setting the PATH in the spawnlpe command (such that it finds the cygwin1.dll and the correct .exe - even in the same directory) I can get the process to run, except there are two small problems with the spawned cygwin process: 1. The socket() function fails with error 10106 (WSAEPROVIDERFAILEDINIT- requested service provider could not be loaded or initialized) 2. stdin, stdout, and stderr are all in O_TEXT mode (not O_BINARY). If I run the cygwin process from the DOS prompt, these two symptoms go away and the process runs great. I am running cygwin1.1.8-2 and NT4sp6a. The raw MSVC program links to the Ws_32.lib library.. if that really matters... It appears that the spawned process is not running any of the cygwin initialization code. Or that perhaps the required DLL's are loaded in a different order.. ?? Is there a way to run the cygwin init stuff directly? Is this the correct solution? If you can help in any way, I'd really appreciate it! Thanks, Craig Nelson, Cameo Systems Inc. -- Want to unsubscribe from this list? Check out: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
