setting openssl path

setting openssl path

[rahed]

Hi,

I'd like to explicitly set a path to openssl program. What variable
should I set? Normally it takes its path from PATH.

Thank you.

You can give GNU Emacs' process environment a particular by invoking  
it as:

	env PATH=... emacs ... &

RC files for shells can override this. Another method can be used in  
your init file:

	(setenv "PATH" (concat "/some/directory" path-separator (getenv  
"PATH")))

It writes into, and reads from, the process' environment.

Thanks, I hoped to set a path to openssl directly.

This is on windows and the only openssl which works with gnus is within
the git program (as far as I know). But git also has a perl and I want
to have my strawberry perl as the preferred one for all applications. So
it resides in the beginning of PATH.

I copied git openssl to strawberry perl bin folder to solve it.
