Re: 1.7.5: running in a non cygwin command prompt


Am 08.07.2010 03:30, schrieb Shalomov, Inessa A (US SSA):
I am trying to get the system() call working in my driver which I am running in a DOS terminal. For the sake of not porting out all of cygwin libraries and executables, I am trying to narrow down to a set of dll's and exe's required for my driver and only include those in my path. What I have gathered so far with the help of cygcheck is that I will need cyggcc_s-1.dll, cygiconv-2.dll, cygintl-8.dll, cygncurses-9.dll, cygreadline7.dll, cygwin1.dll, and sh.exe since system() executes the given command in a shell. My questions are as follows:

1) What .dll's and/or .exe's am I missing to be able to run the driver in a non cygwin command prompt?
2) Is it possible to run my driver (see below) in a non-cygwin prompt with a reduced set of cygwin dll's and .exe's?
3) If the system() call doesn't work when used in a non-cygwin environment, is there a windows native system() equivalent call I can use?
...
My suggestion:

   * Drop the dependency on sh.exe by using one of the exec() calls
     rather than system().
   * Apply static linking: gcc -static -static-libgcc ..., so you'll
     only need cygwin1.dll
