Ignores an already set HOME environment variable #29

Closed peschkaj closed 4 years ago

peschkaj commented 4 years ago

I've set HOME to my actual user folder: C:\Users\<username>. emacx64 ignores this and uses %APPDATA% as if it were the HOME environment variable.

If HOME is set, I would expect programs to respect that environment variable.

Can you reproduce this with the official binary distribution?

I have just uploaded an unpatched 26.3, which plays nice with pdf-tools but lacks im7 support. Also included is a snapshot build of emacs-master without the patches.

This was a configuration issue on my end. I appear to have unset HOME.

I verified that both the build from 5 days ago and the snapshot build will respect the system set HOME environment variable.
