Hi, I have not well understood the docs concerning tvarrecs. How can I
create procedure which will accept arbitrary number of parameters?
To demonstrate what I want:
procedure addnums(a,b,c,xxxx of any types var result:sometype);
or writetoscreen(any number of parameters of given type. something like
write or readln procedures.
Thanx for help
Pianoman

That will not work.
FPC has a copy of the environment, which it received on startup.
It makes little or no sense to add strings to this, since it is
for internal use only.
If you want to execute another program with a different set of
environment strings, you must use the execve call to specify a
different set of environment variables.
The TProcess component allows you to easily specify the
environment as a TStringList.
Michael.

If you're using a command line to execute a foreign program you can
always tell the shell:
csh: "setenv VAR value; your-foreign-program"
sh: "VAR=value; your-foreign-program"
Not portable, ugly workaround, but it does do the job.
HTH,
Marc

Hi,
Thanks to some excellent work from Giulio Berna, the support for BMP images
in the FCL has been greatly improved (and as such should impact Lazarus)
- BMP Reader enhanced to full Microsoft specs:
+ support for 15,16 bit bitmaps.
+ support for strange color masks at 16, 32 bpp
+ rle4 and rle8 decoding
+ top-down stored bitmaps.
+ Palette behaviour changed: use palette at 1,4,8 bits.
+ Support for OnProgress event.
- BMP Writer support:
+ BitsPerPixel property.
+ Writing at all color depths.
+ RLE8 and RLE4 compression.
I have applied his patches, but am not in the possibility to test all
these changes. If there are people out there which use a lot of images,
I would welcome some feedback.
More changes (dithering, quantizing) of images have also been implemented
by Giulio, and will be committed soon.
Kudos to Giulio Berna,
Enjoy,
Michael.

Thanks, is the only think that I probe and runs ok!!!
****
program shell2;
uses baseunix, sysutils;
begin
writeln('glx-config Version:',fpGetenv('SDL_VER'));
end.
****
export SDL_VER=`sdl-config --version`; ./shell2
glx-config Version:1.2.8
Note. I have put the clause EXPORT because I'm using bash.
I don't probe tu use the other method that other person has posted than
use a call to glibc, perhaps it's the largest walk.
Another one, has mentioned than FreePascal(FP) gives an enviroment in
read-only, I have read that the environ is an array of list of var's
with values, and I'dont know why FP (I love it) cannot write in this
array, perhaps do not implement yet.
Thank's eveybody, and regards.

Thank's for the response, perhaps it's my arch ( amd64 ) and compiler
2.0.0, but when I execute this code say :
./sdlver
1.5426178.-248
if I execute `$sdl-config --version` output is not the same :(
1.2.8
