#3587: provide a cross-platform way to set environment variables
---------------------------------+------------------------------------------
Reporter: shahn | Owner:
Type: task | Status: new
Priority: normal | Component: libraries/base
Version: 6.10.4 | Severity: minor
Keywords: environment variable | Testcase:
Os: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple
---------------------------------+------------------------------------------
System.Environment contains cross-platform operations to query environment
variables, not to modify them. System.Posix.Env (package unix) provides
operations to set environment variables on Linux (and probably other
unices). This ticket requests adding cross-platform operations to set env
vars to the module System.Environment.
As a workaround i copied the implementation of
[http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/unix/2.3.2.0/doc/html/src
/System-Posix-Env.html#putEnv System.Posix.Env.putEnv] into a new module.
That seems to work on windows and linux (for me. Maybe this is due to
using mingw/msys, though).
