Hullo ppl,
I maintain a unix program that links with a third party
library that I dont have the source to. I now have to port my program
to windows and was considering the cygwin route. The third party
library is available for windows, but I learn from googling around
that msvcrt.dll and the cygwin dll cannot coexist in the same
executable. I dont know how the linking process works on windows, so I
was wondering if the third party library could possibly have a msvcrt.dll
dependency that would rule out cygwin for my port.
Thanks (in advance),
--Vikram
