However, I strongly recommend to wipe or update related sections on http://cygwin.com/docs.html, just to avoid future confusions! Now that we straightened that one out, we can get to more interesting questions. I want to build an dll that uses Win32 global hooks. With the dll built under MS Visual Studio, I use dlltool on it to create a .dll.a from it and link it with my app under cygwin, everything works! When I build the dll directly under cygwin (what I really want to do, as I don't have VisualStudio!) using the instructions from http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/dll.html, and link it with my app, it does NOT work! Are there any restrictions under cygwin about the kinds of dlls that can be built?
