My main app 'main.c' is in one directory and I have a dynamic library
'cygmylib.dll' in a subdiretory 'tmp'. I can compile and link my main
app fine but having trouble running it. It complaints about not being
able to find the dynamic library. I have tried just about everything
from -L, -Wl,-rpath using relative or absolute paths on the compile line
to setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH and LD_RUN_PATH at run time, but to no avail.
Seeing as how this is Cygwin, and not Interix or A Real *nix, did you
try setting PATH? (PATH="./tmp:$PATH" ./app # this is one line)
