Re: directory y: exe runs properly, directory x: exe quits straightaway

i am porting an application built with Visual C++ to build under Mingw

this is not the mingw list...

in my development directory x, the program apparently builds correctly,
but it quits directly when run.

when i copy the exe to another directory y, the program runs well.

also, in the development directory, ldd shows:
$ ldd mung.exe
         ntdll.dll => /xp0/WINDOWS/system32/ntdll.dll (0x7c900000)
         kernel32.dll => /xp0/WINDOWS/system32/kernel32.dll (0x7c800000)

while in the copy directory, ldd shows:
$ ldd mung.exe
         ntdll.dll => /xp0/WINDOWS/system32/ntdll.dll (0x7c900000)
[cut]
         glut32.dll => /usr/bin/glut32.dll (0x10000000)
         WINMM.dll => /xp0/WINDOWS/system32/WINMM.dll (0x76b40000)
         libgcc_s_sjlj-1.dll =>
         /usr/i686-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/bin/libgcc_s_sjlj-1.dll
         (0x6cec0000)
         libstdc++-6.dll =>
         /usr/i686-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/bin/libstdc++-6.dll
         (0x6fc40000)

this behaviour has some reproducibility: if i copy the development
directory with tar and rebuild, the behaviour represents, whereas if i
make a new build directory, copy the sources and the makefile and
rebuild, the behaviour vanishes.

ldd is not the right tool for this search.
It does not show the DLLs not available on path

try:
objdump -x mung |grep "DLL Name"
