Re: question: how do I find information about functions (params, return values,etc)
OK, this is how I worked until now, meaning using google. But at one point I thought that in cygwin somewhere there is this information and I'm just not able to find it. It seems that there is not, so I wil continue using google for this.

Thanks for your answer. Yes, I'm aware about licensing issues, but thanks for pointing it out.

This is probably a binmode/textmode thing. I don't know what the flags are but probably dbopen needs to open files in binary and hasn't been properly ported to do this without help from the cygwin mount command. See "mount --help". I am concerned when you talk about distributing the product, however. It's just a knee jerk reaction on my part but whenever I hear "distribute the product" coupled with "don't want..them to install the (sic) cygwin", I wonder about licensing issues. You are aware that your product is now GPLed right? You need to distribute both the source code for your product and, if you are providing a copy of the cygwin dll (shudder) you need to provide source code for that. This is only negotiable if you've purchased a license from Red Hat. Otherwise, you must use the GPL. cgf _ Help STOP SPAM with the new MSN 8 and get 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/

question about cygdrive flags string in the registry (Win 2000)
Hi, I ported a database application on Windows 2000 using cygwin. For testing reasons I put on a clean (no cygwin installed) Windows 2000 machine the generated app.exe and the cygwin1.dll. For some reason the dbopen() call failed when trying to read the created before database. After trying to investigating the problem, I found out that it is working if in the registry the following data exists: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\mounts v2 cygdrive flags 22 If this is missing the dbopen() call will fail. My question is: Because at one point I would like to distribute the product to others also, and I don't want to obligate them to install the cygwin, I would like to know why this string is required, and if my only solution would be to add that key in the registry if the cygwin is not already installed on that machine?
