You should be able to set this in the standard windows way: Control Panel -> System -> Advanced -> Environment Variables -> System variables.



Yes , it is a solution . I wanted to avoid to set new System Variables for my application. But it is OK.

So , I tried to set the environment variable CYGWIN to server with the
routines setenv(), putenv(), SetEnvironmentVariable() inside the CGI

By the time your code executes, the Cygwin DLL has already initialized itself, which means it has already noted the value of the CYGWIN variable, so it's too late then.



Does that mean it is impossible to set environment variables once the program is started ? In that case; the setenv/putenv are not equivalent to UNIX functions.
