Re: [Denemo-devel] 1.0.0~rc7-6.mingw test

[Richard Shann]

I have done some more experimenting, and I am fairly sure there is
something nasty lurking in the windows executables. I have prevented
libportmidi issuing its notorious "Press Enter ..." prompt and found
this cured the crash on startup on one xp box. But another xp box
continued to crash, and (even more bizarre) on Vista I have the
situation that the *same* installed program when run by one user runs
ok, when run by another user fails to find the fonts for noteheads,
clefs etc in the Denemo display and instead of flashing the cursor emits
a couple of characters to stdout (or stderr) at each cursor flash.

This is the *same* installed program, being accessed by two (non-amin)
users (at different times of course, since windows doesn't support more
than one user at a time).

The behaviour is quite consistent in all cases, which leads me to think
this is not a threading issue. Rather, memory corruption....

Jeremiah - I have tested your cleanup of the environment variable
settings in main.c on the mingw build and it seems to work identically
to the old code so I think it could go into the code base. There is no
need to set LYEDITOR, as we no longer use it (it's for point-and-click)
and it would be good to re-spell the macro name PATH_SEPERATOR to the
conventional PATH_SEPARATOR so as not to trip up later coders.
