>From the output of that mingw configure run, it appears they are not declared -- at least not in any header included by this particular test program: checking whether program_invocation_name is declared... no checking whether program_invocation_short_name is declared... no Searched myself and found this fine summary from 2010 by Bruno Haible: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2010-12/msg00249.html That implies that (at least in 2010), one would have to invoke the get_program_canonicalized_name function on mingw.
