Actually, if I debug with "insight gdb" a little foo.c using setenv , it works fine !!! I really do not undestand why (I suppose it is a question of shell environment) , so I wonder if some of you ever succeed with a simple putenv wriiten in a tiny C program ? thanks gilles ------------------------------------------ Faites un voeu et puis Voila ! www.voila.fr -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
