How to obtain GNUstep environment values without openapp or GNUstep.sh?

[Quentin Mathé]

Hi,

I currently try to write a daemonizer process that is in charge of  
launching GNUstep applications or tools.
I have an important constraint, this daemonizer must be started  
directly (I cannot launch it with openapp or after sourcing GNUstep.sh).

My problem is the following one, when the daemonizer starts a process  
I would like to do it without relying on 'openapp' because tracking  
processes become a lot more complex when using NSTask with 'openapp'  
as the launch path and the real application path as an argument of  
the task.

Basically what I'm looking for is a method that would return a  
dictionary of GNUstep environment variables (identical to the ones  
set in the shell by 'openapp' or GNUstep.sh), then I could avoid  
openapp by setting the environment variables directly on each NSTask.  
By reading gnustep-make code and -base documentation, I observed they  
might depend on the values encoded in openapp or GNUstep.sh itself.  
Then the only way I can think of would be to start a dummy process  
with openapp (or which modify its environment by soucing GNUstep.sh)  
then collects its environment variables with NSProcessInfo.

May be there is a simpler way to achieve the same result?

Cheers,
Quentin.
