Re: Problem using cygwin compiled DLL's in other Windows apps

Actually, Rob is assuming that you are using gcc to do the link phase. 
Usually, it's better to let gcc take care of all that mess for you -- 
and -mno-cygwin is a gcc option that causes gcc to call ld differently.

So, to build your dll, instead of 'ld -shared ...' do 'gcc -mno-cygwin 
-shared ...'.
