DLL initialization problem

Wed Jun 21 01:37:00 GMT 2000

I am trying to build a DLL with cygwin gcc that would work with 
non-cygwin executables (e.g., those built with Inprise Delphi). I 
presume that I have to somehow initialize the cygwin DLL before using 
memory allocation and I/O functions from my DLL, but I do not know how 
to do that. Here's what I've tried so far:
 - With May 2000 version of cygwin1.dll, I've put a call to 
cygwin_crt0(main function = NULL) in the DLL's entry point. Everything 
blocked when the DLL was loaded.
 - With May 2000 version of cygwin1.dll, I've put a call to 
cygwin_attach_dll(handle, main = NULL) in DLL's entry point. Malloc 
crashed anyway as if I hadn't done that.
 - With June 2000 version of cygwin1.dll I've put a call to 
cygwin_dll_init() in DLL's entry point. Everything blocked when the 
DLL was loaded.
Here is how the last DLL entry point looks like:
__attribute__((stdcall))
int dll_entry(int handle, int reason, void *ptr)
{ 
 if(reason == DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH)
 {
 cygwin_dll_init(); // ...doesn't return...
 }
 return 1;
}
So... what is the right way to initialize the cygwin DLL (before I try 
out all its functions) :-)
Regards and thank you in advance,
 Klemen.
