Setting environment variable SDL_VIDEODRIVER in win32

SDL Development
1

I normally use gcc, but I’m trying to port my SDL game to windows. I don’t
want to use winlib or whatever it is, I want to use directx. In gcc, I just
ues setenv(“SDL_VIDEODRIVER”, “dga”, 1) to set it, but this doesn’t seem to
work in Visual C++ 6.0. Is there just a library I’m not including? I want
it to set it at runtime too, not prior.

I think you can use putenv() or _putenv() on Windows.
