I think this is the problem. You can not mix cygwin and msvc program
parts.

Re: LoadLibrary("cygx11-6.dll") results in STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION

2004-10-24 Thread Samer El Boustany
here's my piece of code:
int main(int argc,char **argv)
{
 HINSTANCE hInst = LoadLibrary("cygwin1.dll");
 void *(*pfdlOpen)(char *,int) = (void *(*)(char
*,int))GetProcAddress(hInst,"dlopen");
 int   (*pfdlClose)(void *) =
(int(*)(void*))GetProcAddress(hInst,"dlclose");
 void *(*pfdlSym)(void *,const char *) = (void *(*)(void *,const char
*))GetProcAddress(hInst,"dlsym");

 void * hXInst = pfdlOpen("cygwin1.dll",RTLD_LAZY);

 if (hInst)
 {
  Display *(*pfXOpenDisplay)(char *) = NULL;

  pfXOpenDisplay = (Display *(*)(char *))pfdlSym(hXInst,"XOpenDisplay");
  if(pfXOpenDisplay)
  {
   Display *pxDisplay = NULL;

   pxDisplay = pfXOpenDisplay("127.0.0.1:0.0");
   if(pxDisplay)
   {
   }
   else
   {
printf("Could not connect to X Server");
   }
  }
  pfdlClose(hXInst);
 }
}

note that I am using MSVC 6

Thank you for your replies.
I tried the dlopen and it gets into an inifinite loop. Any idea why?

thanks

This dump occurs when the system tries to load the library.

Why not link the library directly into the program? I'm not sure if LoadLibrary
works well with cygwin dlls.

LoadLibrary("cygx11-6.dll") results in STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION

2004-10-24 Thread Samer El Boustany
Hi,
I am trying to write an x client application that will run on a windows xp
machine. When I try to load any X related dll (in order to be able to call
for example XOpenDisplay) the executable exits whith the message
5 [main] test3 2820 handle_exceptions: Exception: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION
648 [main] test3 2820 open_stackdumpfile: Dumping stack trace to
test3.exe.tackdump

This dump occurs when the system tries to load the library.

Any help would be appreciated.

thanks
