Hm, i implemented LD_PRELOAD fully, but by concept this can only work at shared library boundaries (i'm generating code with parity that does all the shared library loading, which is capable of LD_PRELOAD, LD_BIND_NOW, LD_BIND_LAYZ and such things :) just runtime linking like behaviour is missing right now, but i have a patch waiting for this...). > > Why does MS not provide a compiler fully capable of working in the > Interix environment in the first place, by the way? They do provide gcc 3.3, which works quite fine. Also i have gcc 4.2.2 compiled and working, but still we need native windows binaries (with no dependencies to things like cygwin1.dll, just plain Windows with msvcrt.dll) to incorporate well with our other software. Also how could you argue for example (for the client) that you are on windows, but can't use the windows printer spooler. Clients won't understand, that you don't have access to it, because you just use the "wrong" compiler for that one. > > <mode="snide remark">Can't you just use GCC on Interix?</mode> No, see above.
