There is a problem loading the win32-loader (SVN rev. 61594) plug-in via the LoadLibrary API function on Windows 98 Second Edition. I have not yet found out why the win32-loader plug-in behaves different on Windows 98 Second Edition compared to other NSIS plug-ins.
Below are my notes regarding the analysis: Building win32-loader plug-in on Linux Sid: svn co svn://svn.debian.org/d-i/trunk/win32-loader -r 61594 cd win32-loader i586-mingw32msvc-gcc -Os plugins/cpuid/cpuid.c plugins/cpuid/plugin.c plugins/systeminfo/systeminfo.c plugins/string.c -Wl,--file-alignment,512 -Werror -D_WIN32_WINNT=0x0500 -L/usr/i586-mingw32msvc/lib/nsis -lpluginapi -shared -o plugins/win32-loader.dll Evaluating of resulting win32-loader.dll on Windows 98 Second Edition: C:\win32-loader> getfunc win32-loader.dll get_arch LoadLibrary of win32-loader.dll failed: 0x0000001F => ERROR_GEN_FAILURE 31 (0x1F) - A device attached to the system is not functioning. in comparison System plug-in from nsis-2.45-1 shows the following result: C:\win32-loader> getfunc System.dll Call Call function address in System.dll: 0x6E3C301E Source code of getfunc.c #include <windows.h> #include <stdio.h> int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { HINSTANCE hInstLib; if (3 != argc) { printf("usage: %s dll function\n", argv[0]); } else { hInstLib = LoadLibrary(argv[1]); if (NULL != hInstLib) { printf("%s function address in %s: 0x%08X\n", argv[2], argv[1], (unsigned int) GetProcAddress(hInstLib, argv[2])); FreeLibrary(hInstLib); } else { printf("LoadLibrary of %s failed: 0x%08X\n", argv[1], (unsigned int)GetLastError()); } } return 0; } -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
