In my case this is cygwin wich relies on the HOME Variable, but there might be other tools rely on this variable (which is also not nice from these tools to use generic variable like HOME). \r\n\r\nMy recomondation ist to change this variable to something more specific like `QUCSHOME`."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/Qucs/qucs/issues/comments/75277207","html_url":"https://github.com/Qucs/qucs/issues/204#issuecomment-75277207","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/Qucs/qucs/issues/204","id":75277207,"user":{"login":"guitorri","id":1388949,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/1388949?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/guitorri","html_url":"https://github.com/guitorri","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/guitorri/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/guitorri/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/guitorri/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/guitorri/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/guitorri/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/guitorri/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/guitorri/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/guitorri/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/guitorri/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-02-20T17:09:36Z","updated_at":"2015-02-20T17:09:36Z","body":"I think HOME is not used anymore and can be dropped from the Inno instaler script.\r\n\r\nThese are the environment variables that we currently use:\r\n```\r\n./qucs/main.cpp:641:  char* var = getenv(\"QUCSDIR\");\r\n./qucs/main.cpp:672:  var = getenv(\"ADMSXMLBINDIR\");\r\n./qucs/main.cpp:689:  var = getenv(\"ASCOBINDIR\");\r\n./qucs/main.cpp:706:  var = getenv(\"OCTAVEBINDIR\");\r\n```"}}
