I might just try experimenting with a very simple program and see if I
still get the error
I partially tracked down the problem, although I don't quite know how to
solve it. If I write this simple console app:-
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main ()
{
printf ( getenv ("PATH") );
return 0;
}
it outputs the correct path. However, if I create a GUI app and launch it
under 'X', the path seems to change and includes lots of duplicated folders.
I figured out that startxwin.bat is adding a few duplicated entries to my
path but that doesn't explain why there are so many duplications and I don't
know where the others might be coming from. However, I don't get any
duplicates at all if I run XWin directly, instead of starting it with
startxwin.bat.
