Text item: 


Simple minor note that the $foo in the command below is interpreted by the
original command line interpreter before the actual statement is executed.
This is why this example will not work. The example given in the post by
Fabio is correct in its use.
  You could try:

  foo=hi eval echo '$foo'

This would cause $foo to be protected first time arround, then let
eval evaluate the command after the assignment and do the echo.

     env is a command typically used in csh-like shells. With bash, you can
     just say:

     ONE=one TWO=two echo_1_2

     This also does not work with cygwin32 17.1.

     The simple statement: foo=hello echo $foo
     doesn't work.

     Also I am not real familiar with unix so I don't know if this is a bug
     or not:  Only uppercase environment variables can be exported.

Under Linux, env works fine with both tcsh and bash.  I haven't tried
env with cygwin---I wasn't even aware of its inclusion---and right now
I have no access to my Win95 laptop. But it looks like a bug.

     Yes, I know this has been covered before.  Unfortunately, I can't find 
     the necessary information to get this to work other than to use 
     link.exe and it might work.
     
     So, I have a simple program which uses OpenGL and I link with the 
     following:
     
     link simple.o libuser32.a glu32.lib opengl32.lib libgdi32.a 
     /subsystem:windows /machine:i386
     
     And of course, I get the following:
     
      Microsoft (R) 32-Bit Incremental Linker Version 5.00.7022
      Copyright (C) Microsoft Corp 1992-1997. All rights reserved.
      
      LINK : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _WinMainCRTStartup
      simple.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals
      make: *** [simple.exe] Error 25
     
     No .EXE is generated.  And the answer is... what?
