I am having a problem with some Cygwin compiled programs and am hoping
for some advice. I have a menu program which is started from the
Desktop by its icon. In this menu program, I modify the environment
for any child programs that it launches. This works great until the
child program launches a child of its own.
In the child code, I use execvp to do the launch; however, I don't
believe the child process (grandchild to menu program) is getting the
enviroment variables copied from the parent (child of menu program).
Does this seem like a bug? Is there a better way to do what I am doing?
I can make the grandchild work if I put the environment variables in
the Control Panel->System->Advanced->Environment Variables.
I hope this makes sense and thanks in advance for any advice!
Joey
