Although this is nothing specific to Cygwin: If you want to make the
variable value available to processes which are executed subsequently,
you need to export the variable, not just set it, as in:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/dll-files
Alternatively, set the variable in the command line like this:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/dll-files foo
assuming that "foo" is the command to start the app which requires the dll.
regards,
Markus
