Re: SIGSEGV in cygwin1.dll

Hi list, this is my first post here.
I'm writing an application that uses SDL, lib3ds and glib
I've installed SDL and lib3ds from sources, both compiled with -mno-cygwin, while glib (2.2) comes from here http://web.sfc.keio.ac.jp/~s01397ms/cygwin/
I wasn't able to compile it from sources, still need to understand why.
Anyway after I actually compiled my application I run it and ... SIGSEGV

So, your application is linked both with cygwin1.dll, and with Microsoft's C library (msvcrt or crtldd) indirectly, via sdl and lib3ds which are built with -mno-cygwin.
You can't do that. See http://cygwin.com/faq/faq_4.html#SEC99


(The application works in my linux box)
With gdb I was able to collect this stack trace:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x61021a8b in unsetenv () from /usr/bin/cygwin1.dll
(gdb) bt
#0  0x61021a8b in unsetenv () from /usr/bin/cygwin1.dll
#1  0x6101f9b2 in dlfork () from /usr/bin/cygwin1.dll

That probable means that cygwin's version of unsetenv() is called on variable that was set by Microsoft's runtime. You have to build cygwin versions of those 3rd-party libraries you use.

interestend in compiling only src/winsup/cygwin and not all cygwin.
Is it possible? How?

src/winsup/cygwin is basically all cygwin. You can tweak build process to avoid building misc utilities such as cygcheck etc., but it won't save you much time or disk space.
If i can compile it I'll able to understand where's the problem
