Summary

When used with OCaml 4.12.0, restores full support to Cygwin64 for dynamic loaded stub libraries and native dynlink.

Changes

  • #89, @dra27: Stop passing --image-base on Cygwin64. Cygwin64 DLLs should load at 0x4:00000000-0x6:00000000 if not rebased or 0x2:00000000-0x4:00000000 if rebased.
  • #90, @dra27: Fix passing NULL to flexdll_dlopen on non-Cygwin builds.

Notes

The binary release includes flexlink.exe compiled with 32-bit mingw-w64 and MSVC objects compiled using the Windows SDK version 7.0 (Windows 7 + .NET 3.5). If you are using large COFF objects you may need to recompile flexlink with a 64-bit compiler. If you are using Visual Studio 2015 or later, the pre-compiled C object files will need to be rebuilt (make CHAINS=msvs support or make CHAINS=msvc64 support). We hope to address both of these issues properly in the next release.

OCaml has supported bootstrap of FlexDLL since 4.03 - if compiling from a Git clone, simply run git submodule update --init flexdll or if compiling from a tarball, unzip the FlexDLL sources into flexdll/ and run make [-j] flexdll before running make [-j] world[.opt] followed, optionally, by make flexlink.opt. This mode guarantees C objects built with the same C compiler as OCaml and also builds flexlink with the compiler you just built.
