[Gdal-dev] Crash while calling CPLSetConfigOption

[Antoine Hue]

Hi,

I am currently porting my software to Windows using MingW, for sure it 
is using GDAL underneath.

When testing the build result, at first it was crashing as GDAL was not 
able to create an OGRSpatialReference. I thought then, the problem was 
coming from the fact that GDAL is not able to find its CSV data files.
While in Linux I was using the setenv() stdlib call, it does not exists 
on GDAL. Browsing GDAL code, I figured out that it is possible to use 
CPLSetConfigOption() to do something similar. However, I get a crash on 
the CPLSetConfigOption() call.
I see two possibilities:
- I am not using the function correctly, an init is needed.
- My GDAL DLL build is crap.

Could you answer the first option?
