[Bug 21513] New: Option to not inherit the UNIX environment
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=21513 Summary: Option to not inherit the UNIX environment Product: Wine Version: 1.1.37 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: minor Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org ReportedBy: dima(a)gmail.com The Perforce command-line client (p4.exe) breaks because of a few environment variables that Wine inherits from the OS: PWD: Doesn't even exist in Windows, and yet, p4 reads it and gets confused because it's a UNIX path, not a win32 one. P4EDITOR: I have it set to "nano", which makes sense for the Linux p4, but not the Windows one. P4DIFF: same as above. p4 breaks the same way in WinXP if I set PWD to a UNIX-like path. Since just about any UNIX environment variable can potentially break a Windows program, it would be nice to have an option to start programs with just the Windows environment. (While it's possible to run "env -i wine ...", that has some disadvantages: variables such as HOME, PATH, and DISPLAY need to be set, since they're required by Wine; if Wine starts a native program, that program won't get the original UNIX environment.) Similarly, if Wine starts a native program, that program shouldn't inherit the Windows environment. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

If programs can't cope with some env vars - it's a bug in that program, since they will fail if you set those env vars on Windows. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=21513 --- Comment #3 from Dima Ryazanov <dima(a)gmail.com> 2010-01-27 20:19:09 --- I think I explained in the bug report why "env" isn't a good solution. And, sure, it's a bug in the program - but in practice, it won't occur on Windows because Windows doesn't set those variables. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

The P4 variables clearly can't be handled in Wine, but you can always set the appropriate values for the Windows environment in the registry. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

This is just what I wanted in this bug report, but I really doubt it's intentional: Under HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Environment, create a string "FOO" with an empty value. Run "FOO= wine /c cmd set". Now, you see just the Windows environment, with no UNIX variables. (What I expected was the usual environment, but without the FOO variable.) Should I file a new bug for this? -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.
