Detect and use darwin's environ compatibility symbol (patch vs CVS HEAD) (1.12 KB, patch)
2005-11-02 21:21 UTC, Daniel Macks 		none Details | Review

Description Daniel Macks 2005-11-02 21:20:41 UTC 
Version details: 2.12.1 and CVS HEAD

libgnome-desktop/gnome-desktop-item.c declares it:

  extern char **environ;

which falsely assumes this symbol is defined in some system library. For OS X,
the correct declaration to get the equivalent environ symbol functionality is:

  #include <crt_externs.h>
  #define environ (*_NSGetEnviron())

For portability probably best to test for the presence of that header and symbol
and use their implementation if they are present.

Thanks for the patch - the real fix is to use g_listenv()
