problems with building a dll with the b18 package

[Daphne69@aol.com]

I'm trying to build a dll with the cynwin32 environment. I've tried using the
several simple examples from the web page. Should have 'just worked'. However
I get a 'illegal write access' or something to that effect when a run the
results.

I've tried both the relocatable and non-relocateable versions. When I use
gdb, the dll seems to load. However at some point it fails in a console
initialization
routine.

compile commands...


#!/bin/sh
LIBPATH=/gnuwin32/b18/H-i386-cygwin32/i386-cygwin32/lib

gcc -c foo.c
gcc -c foo2.c
gcc -c init.cc
gcc -c fixup.c

echo EXPORTS > fooB.def
nm foo.o foo2.o init.o fixup.o | grep ' [TC] ' | sed 's/[^_]*_//' >> fooB.def
ld --base-file fooB.base --dll -o fooB.dll foo.o foo2.o init.o fixup.o \
 $LIBPATH/libcygwin.a -e _dll_entry@12
dlltool --as=as --dllname fooB.dll --def fooB.def --base-file fooB.base
--output-exp fooB.exp
ld --base-file fooB.base fooB.exp --dll -o fooB.dll foo.o foo2.o init.o
fixup.o \
 $LIBPATH/libcygwin.a -e _dll_entry@12

dlltool --as=as --dllname fooB.dll --def fooB.def --output-lib fooB.a

gcc main.c fooB.a -o testdll.exe
