I found Microsoft documentation of LoadLibrary and GetProcAddress (both of which are used in src/ltdl_win32.c) at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms684175(v=vs.85).aspx and http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms683212(v=vs.85).aspx Both pieces of documentation claim you can get extended error information using GetLastError documented at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms679360(v=vs.85).aspx, and my idea was to extend src/ltdl_win32.c to use GetLastError for both cases. But after scanning through that documentation I think implementing this idea is beyond my (minimal) Windows expertise. For example, what seems to be documented is the C++ case, and I don't know what has to be changed so that GetLastError will work for the C case. Anyhow, any help from Windows developers here in fleshing out the current minimalist src/ltdl_win32.c would be appreciated so that it could be discovered what is generating the test-drv-info (but not libplplotd) exit code of 3 for the MinGW-built wxwidgets device driver case.
