Well, I thought of that - first rule of debugging, calculatus
eliminatus. I tried it; but, attempts to use the older DLLs with
newer apps (or vice-versa) result in corrupted shared memory, and
force me to reboot my WinXP box. I've been under the impression
that cygwin1.dll isn't really meant to be cross-compatible with
applications built against other versions of Cygwin, which would
probably make the search useless. If anyone knows otherwise, I'm
keen to hear anything about cygwin1.dll-swapping that could be of
use - i.e. how far back I could go and expect to retain binary
compatibility.
There is backwards binary compatibility but not forward. So I'd
suggest, if you're interested in trying this, that you use your
1.5.14 environment and swap in DLLs until it doesn't work. But keep
your original DLL so you can "reset" it at the end. Start with the
oldest snapshot and binary search your way in.
Hi,
I got the same problem, I ran Insight debugger too but it failed. Code
very well in new version of Cygwin but Exe file does not give any
output. Insight debugger says unknown error.
I was wondering whether XP Media Edition is conflicting with Cygwin
environment.
I tried the Cygwin1.dll to run in DOS mode but it failed.
I will also try the same thing as Jonathan says.
Two additional thoughts on this:
o If you have a small, simple test case in C, it's worth your while
to consider sending it to the list.
o You should send along your cygcheck output. Indeed, it's worthwhile
to

the better! :-)
