Re: Win2000 compatibility


2012-04-13 AM 12:19, iggor ì ê:
Hello,

It appears that Cygwin SETUP.EXE at this time is uncompatible with
Windows 2000, since it uses function GetModuleHandleExA
which leads to error in searching entry point in kernel32.dll.
So, I cannot run setup at all, even get help with option.
AFAIK, this function is absent in all Win2k, not only my
SP4, build 2195.

you can fix the problem by building setup.exe from scratch.

before you build setup.exe, please checkout commits that used GetModuleHandleExA, and fix it by replacing with alternative api provided in win2k.

GetModuleHandleEx is known to be supported in minimum winxp (0x0501), according to http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms683200(v=vs.85).aspx
by the way, in winbase.h, it is enabled with minimum of win2k. which should be fixed.
#if (_WIN32_WINNT >= 0x0500)
WINBASEAPI BOOL WINAPI GetModuleHandleExA(DWORD,LPCSTR,HMODULE*);
WINBASEAPI BOOL WINAPI GetModuleHandleExW(DWORD,LPCWSTR,HMODULE*);
#endif

Regards.
