Johannes Sixt	f8fd915d0c	Move environment functions from spawn-pipe.c to compat/mingw.c ... We want to get rid of spawn-pipe.*, but these functions will be needed. On the way, the function signature was changed to avoid warnings about incompatible pointer types when the argument is the global variable "environ".	2007-11-18 20:22:04 +01:00

Johannes Sixt	0400c502c3	Factor fork()/exec() work into a spawn() like function. ... Windows does not have fork(), but something called spawn() that is roughly equivalent to a fork()/exec() pair, factor out the Unix style code into a function that does it more similarly to spawn(). Now the Windows style spawn() can more easily be employed to achieve the same that the Unix style code does.	2007-01-19 16:32:23 +01:00
