environment variable issues... (windows problem)

[Lloyd Dupont]

I have a program which call

putenv("GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_ROOT=some/valid/path");

early.

 

later on I call [NSApplication sharedAplication]

and on the command line I get printed the following:

Warning - GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_ROOT is not set - using ~C/Tmp/oIwTvbJ63H/GNUstep-i3kU/System

 

could it be something like static gnustep-base is statically linked to C Runtime?

is which case what is the work around?
