Why do I have db_load.dll - where is db_load.exe?])

m4_p([dnl
Microsoft Visual C++ .NET has some bugs related to converting project
files from VC++ 6.0 format and incorrectly converts the db_load project.
For more information, see m4_linkweb(
[http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;EN-US;Q321274&],
[Microsoft's article about this bug]).])

m4_p([dnl
The workaround is simply to switch the m4_bold(db_load) project back to
generating an EXE after converting to VC++ .NET.  To do this, right
click on db_load -__GT__ Properties and change "Configuration Type" from
"Dynamic Library (.dll)" to "Application (.exe)".])])

My Win* C/C++ application crashes in the m4_db library when m4_db calls
fprintf (or some other standard C library function).])

m4_p([dnl
You should be using the "Debug Multithreaded DLL" compiler option in
your application when you link with the
build_windows\Debug\libdb[]M4MAJOR[]M4MINOR[]d.lib library (this .lib file
is actually a stub for libdb[]M4MAJOR[]M4MINOR[]d.DLL). To check this
setting in Visual C++, choose the m4_italic(Project/Settings) menu
item and select m4_italic(Code Generation) under the tab marked
m4_italic(C/C++); and see the box marked m4_italic(Use runtime
library).  This should be set to m4_italic(Debug Multithreaded DLL).
If your application is linked against the static library,
build_windows\Debug\libdb[]M4MAJOR[]M4MINOR[]sd.lib; then, you will want
to set m4_italic(Use runtime library) to m4_italic(Debug Multithreaded).])

m4_p([dnl
Setting this option incorrectly can cause multiple versions of the
standard libraries to be linked into your application (one on behalf
of your application, and one on behalf of the m4_db library).  That
violates assumptions made by these libraries, and traps can result.])])

Why are the build options for DB_DLL marked as "Use MFC in a Shared DLL"?
Does m4_db use MFC?])

m4_p([dnl
m4_db does not use MFC at all.  It does however, call malloc and free
and other facilities provided by the Microsoft C runtime library.  We
found in our work that many applications and libraries are built
assuming MFC, and specifying this for m4_db solves various
interoperation issues, and guarantees that the right runtime libraries
are selected.  Note that because we do not use MFC facilities, the MFC
library DLL is not marked as a dependency for libdb.dll, but the
appropriate Microsoft C runtime is.])])

How can I build m4_db for m4_linkweb(http://www.mingw.org, MinGW)?])

m4_p([dnl
Follow the instructions in m4_linkpage(M4RELDIR/ref/build_unix/intro,
Building for UNIX/POSIX), and specify the --enable-mingw option to the
configuration script.  This configuration option currently only builds
static versions of the library, it does not yet build a DLL version of
the library.])])
