    GP2X Issues...

    Does this help?

    cheers,
    Paul.
    I have the feeling that under GP2X the FPC version of getenv may be broken or that SDL should be using the C getenv and not the FPC fpgetenv. Could you try the following just to be sure where the commented code is...
    [pascal]{$IFDEF UNIX}
    {$IFDEF FPC}
    {$IFDEF GP2X}
    result := getenv(......);
    {$ELSE}
    result := fpcgetenv(......);
    {$ENDIF}
    {$ENDIF}
    {$ENDIF}[/pascal]

    I tried that and freepascal borked at the line

    Code:
      result &#58;= getenv&#40;name&#41;;
    with Identifier not found "getenv"

    So it looks like I can't use getenv under the GP2X.

    cheers,
    Paul.

    Is there a GP2X forum where we can confirm that getenv is definitely broken?

    GP2X Issues...

    I did a small test in C.
    Code:
      char *path = getenv&#40;"PATH"&#41;;
      if &#40;path&#41;
        printf&#40;path&#41;;
      printf&#40;"\n"&#41;;
    produced the following
    Code:
    &#91;root@gp2x dev&#93;$./test2
    /sbin&#58;/usr/sbin&#58;/usr/local/sbin&#58;/bin&#58;/usr/bin&#58;/usr/local/bin
    getenv() definitely works on the GP2X. I don't know what FPC might be doing wrong.

    Thanks for the test Steve. As you said we just need to find out what FPC is doing.

    Paul do you know if libc.genenv() is available under GP2X?

    Actually I would have thought the fpgetenv() should work as well. Maybe what is required is a fix in FPC to get fpgetenv() working.

    There is a libc.so.6 file in the devkitGP2X that may contain getenv, but I am unsure.

    I did find a libc.pas file on a freepascal site that referes to the libc.so.6 file

    Code:
    const
      libcmodulename = 'libc.so.6';
    and this file has the function getenv in it which comes from the libc.so.6 file.

    I hope this helps,
    cheers,
    Paul.

    Could you change the code in your version of sdl.pas to look like this.

    [pascal]{$IFDEF GP2X}
    result := libc.getenv(name);
    {$ELSE}
    result := fpcgetenv(name);
    {$ENDIF}[/pascal]

    You may have to change the uses clause at the top to include libc for GP2X.

    Hi Paul or Steve,
    Any joy in getting FPC to recognise either fpcgetenv() or the libc.getenv()?

    Sorry, I was away for a bit...I will try this shortly.

    cheers,
