Using Cygwin 1 with Mumit's JNI examples -Reply

That route seems blocked - I'm behind a corporate firewall that refuses to
connect me to the ftp server with a "530 Login incorrect" (I've not
supplied any login - I don't have one).

For the time being I'm going to give up - it would have been nice to get it
to work, but it isn't essential ATM.

Loading Cygwin DLL from noncygwin apps (such as Java JNI) is broken
in Cygwin v1.0 CD version.

Your best bet is to pick a recent development snapshot and see if
that works. We can take it from there.

The root cause of the breakage is in winsup/entry.cc, where there
is a block in dll_entry() that looks like this:
  
  case DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH:
    if (! static_load)
      {
	/* ... */
      }
    break;

The code between the `if' block screws up dynamic loading of Cygwin
DLL
from noncygwin apps.

Regards,
Mumit
