Re: Help building and running a framework on Windows

[Samantha Rahn]

I have yet to see my posts appear in the archive. However, I will post this update anyway. Is anybody listening out there?

Problem solved:

My problem was I was misinterpreting the GDB error. It was saying: gdb: unknown target exception 0xc0000135 which means it can't load the DLL (thanks Google). So I looked at my path, and, sure enough, there was a mistake in it. The GDB error should say "unknown exception". I am new to this and was thinking that "unknown target" meant GDB couldn't recognize the binary I had generated. But then I started Googling for the 0xc0000135 (which does NOT appear in the winbase.h file in GNUstep).

Hello,

I am trying to create:
1) a framework with one object in it that has one class method and one C function.
2) a tool which loads the DLL and invokes the class method and the C function.

My code builds, but does not execute properly. GDB says "unknown target exception".

Setup:
OS: Windows 2003 Server
1. gnustep-system-0.19.2-setup.exe
2. gnustep-core-0.19.2-setup.exe
3. SystemPreferences-1.0.2-2-setup.exe (it runs fine)

Environment:
GNUSTEP_INSTALLATION_DOMAIN=USER
GNUSTEP_MAKEFILES=/GNUstep/System/Library/Makefiles
GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_ROOT=C:/GNUstep

Path:
C:\GNUstep\bin
C:\GNUstep\local\bin
C:\GNUstep\mingw\bin
C:\GNUstep\GNUstep\Local\Tools
C:\GNUstep\GNUstep\System\Tools

// FILE: MyFrameworkObject.m
void myroutine( void )
{
  printf ("I'm in the routine.\n");
}

@implementation MyObject

+ (void)run
{
  NSLog(@"Hello!\n");
}

@end
// EOF

// FILE: MyToolMain.m
int
main(int argc, const char *argv[])
{
  id pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];

   myroutine();       // from framework
  [MyObject run];     // from framework

  [pool release];

  return 0;
}
// EOF

Builds fine.
Running, I get
gdb: unknown target exception

Attached are the actual sources and makefiles for the framework and the tool.

Thanks so much for any help!
