Bah, I think that is the source of the problem. Having grepped the
source for my_exec_path, I found the reference in globals.c and hence
the code worked on Linux (my main development environment) with a simple
extern declaration which was what was confusing me. Adding the #include
"miscadmin.h" solves this problem and I can now access the variable on
Windows aswell, so I put this down to "user error" - thanks for the
advice Tom.
Many thanks,
Mark.
