Hrm, next time I get a chance to sit down in the CS lab and hammer away at it
for a while (I currently only have a Linux box available to me without making
a trip across campus) I'll try strace. As the previous poster suggested, I
had already tried cygcheck, and all it spat back at me was SDL.dll,
cygwin1.dll, and a bunch of standard Windows DLLs. Perhaps there's a compiler
switch that I missed?
Have you considered the registry? Installing Cygwin updates the
registry - it's where the mount points are recorded. If your app
is using a POSIX-style path anywhere (eg /tmp/...) this would not
be found, and if your app is dependent on the text/binary mount
switches it would behave differently.
A quick check would be to temporarily rename your Cygnus Solutions
registry keys (in HKLM/Software and HKCU/Software), or else use
mount to experiment.
