[cygwin] How to use the cygwin.dll in Windows Programming

Predatorian · 07-24-2014, 04:06 PM

I'm not sure if this is really the place to put this, and this is by far my favorite forum for anything.

So my question is, how would I go about using the cygwin.dll, similar to what Irissi did for their Windows standalone version? Where woudl I find the information for that? I'm probably not searching the correct terms.

I tried sending this to the Cygwin Mailing Lists but Google Mail says that it keeps getting kicked back.

What do you really want to do? (Using cygwin.dll isn't a goal it iself, it can be a mean to achieve what you really want.)

I didn't really have a goal in mind, a lot of things I would want to do are already done. I guess I would want to make something that would utilize the SSH program and make a window manager out of it using Cygwin, if that's possible.

So it would be a Windows application that is a window-manager, that uses ssh and cygwin.dll. Well, good luck.
