Re: Compiling errors with '-mno-cygin' option on Cygwin
Thank you for your replies. But here is my problem:
I am trying to make a DLL from a C program that has embedded Perl in it.
I successfully created the DLL, and also created a test C client. The
client successfully calls the DLL. All this is done in Cygwin and without
the "-mno-cygwin" option.
But, when I try to invoke this DLL from Visual Basic, the application
crashes with the error message, "An unhandled Win32 Exception has
occurred in VB6.EXE."
Thanks.
