Hi there,
I have FF extension compiled and linked by MSVC, but one part is
compiled with cygwin's gcc. When I run it in FF and try to call some
cygwin's function, browser completely freezes. Compilation & linking
are without any errors and dependency walker says that final .dll is
also ok. So what could be wrong?
Thanks
Zb.
No answer in over 5 months! Well, just in case an interested party finds this, let me give it a shot.
The [URL="http://cygwin.com/faq.html"]Cygwin FAQ[/URL], #6.12, says that MSVCRT*.DLL (linked by MSVC) and cygwin1.dll (required by Cygwin's gcc) are [i]mutually exclusive[/i].
Although Cygwin also includes a MINGW32 cross compiler. It doesn't call cygwin1.dll. You might be able to compile the whole thing with it.
Also, question 6.16 in the same FAQ has a rather involved, non-trivial answer that may be worth looking at.
