From: Dave Abrahams <dave <at> boostpro.com> To: 67540 <at> debbugs.gnu.org Subject: bug#67540: 29.1; Emacs on Windows incorrectly capitalizes some environment variables Date: Wed, 29 Nov 2023 18:29:26 -0800
emacs -Q
M-! set
Now issue the "set" command from a CMD shell. Notice that the "Path"
environment variable has been renamed to "PATH" in Emacs. This renaming
interferes with some tools operating correctly e.g. the swift compiler
(see https://swift.org).
I notice that the "ComSpec" variable is getting the same treatment
I am able to work around the problem as follows:
(defun unsetenv (var-name)
(let ((current-prefix-arg '(4)))
(funcall-interactively 'setenv var-name nil)))
(when (eq system-type 'windows-nt)
(dolist (v '("Path" "ComSpec"))
(let ((x (getenv v)))
(unsetenv (upcase v))
(setenv v x))))
