In Windows, DLLs have to be executable.  The usual cause of the above
message is a non-executable DLL.

Perhaps the DDD build is doing something Windows-unfriendly (like
"/usr/bin/install -m=0644").  You might find it helpful to examine the
Cygwin-specific patch in the Cygwin DDD package.
HTH,

Error starting DDD 3.3.11

[Kirk Hagberg]

Greetings,

I compiled the source code for DDD 3.3.11.  The "configure" runs fine,
and the "make" and "make install" run fine.  When I execute
/usr/local/bin/ddd I get a Windows pop-up error message that says:

"The application failed to initialize properly (0xc005). Click on OK
to terminate the application"

The version of DDD (3.3.9) that comes with Cygwin runs fine.  

I've done a ton of searches: the I'net, Cygwin mailing lists, etc.  Any
help would be appreciated.

Thanks!
-K

Re: Running Cygwin on multi-user Windows XP - A fix

[Tom Legbandt]

This alone does not solve the problem.  The error appears 
/*incorrectly*/ to be associated with the command line:


X:0 -multiwindow -clipboard

and in the /tmp/XWin  file (log file), the last lines contain:

~snip~
winClipbaordProc - XOpenDisplay () returned and successfully opened the 
display.

WinProcSetSelectionOwner - Clipboard not yet started, aborting.
WinProcSetSelectionOwner - Clipboard not yet started, aborting.
WinMultiWindowXMsgProcErrorHandler - ERROR:  BadWindow (invalid window 
parameter)
WinMultiWindowXMsgProcErrorHandler - ERROR:  BadWindow (invalid window 
parameter)
WinMultiWindowXMsgProcErrorHandler - ERROR:  BadWindow (invalid window 
parameter)

winClipboardProc - Call to select () failed: -1. Bailing.
winClipboardProc - XDestroyWindow succeeded.

winClipboardIOErrorHandler!
~end snip~

But the real problem is that the file extension for cygwin/tmp/XWin is 
missing (or is .txt) upon installation.
Why this works under an administrative account is puzzling to me.  When 
the file is renamed as cygwin/tmp/XWin.*log*, in addition to the change 
to startxwin.bat noted below, the program launches correctly.

This problem has been solved in the mailing archive. Here is snip from
my modified startxwin.bat file.

The solution is to mount the users own tmp directory as /tmp for
CygwinX.

Subject: Running Cygwin on multi-user Windows XP


Cygwin when installed on Windows XP multi user machines will only run 
under the account in which it in installed.  In addition, the account 
must have administrative rights, which is totally unacceptable.


What do I have to do to get it to run on non-administrative accounts 
that were not the account under which it was installed?

Re: Serious flaw in Cygwin X clipboard integration prevents paste from X to Windows apps

I can quickly build an experimental Xming.exe with any patch you have in
mind.
(Xming shares the same code base as Cygwin/X).
If proven the patch could then be incorporated into Cygwin/X, at leisure,
via an XOrg bugzilla.


Colin,
Thanks. That may prove to be the best route. I'm actually in the
process of attempting to build XWin now, but if I run into problems that
look as though they could take a while to get resolved, I will plan to
send you a patch. If it works as I expect, the change will be limited to
a single file - a single statement, in fact.

Thanks again,
Brett Stahlman
