LoadLibrary("cygx11-6.dll") results in STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION

[Samer El Boustany]

Thank you for your replies.
I tried the dlopen and it gets into an inifinite loop. Any idea why?

thanks

LoadLibrary usually works okay --- but it'd certainly be better, from a
cygwin POV, to use cygwin1.dll's dlopen() instead. And there is sometimes a
good reason to avoid direct linking: what if you want to "turn on" various
windowing/GUI modes...e.g. rxvt on cygwin can currently be used without an
Xserver running, without even having the X libs installed. If $DISPLAY is
:0, it never tries to load the X stuff, but simply uses Windows GDI. If the
Xlibs were linked directly into the app, you'd always have to have the Xlibs
installed, even if you didn't want to ever use rxvt in "X11" mode.
