The styles are passed via environment variables:

     tmp = getenv("TIREX_BACKEND_MAP_CONFIGS");
     if (tmp)
     {
         char *dup = strdup(tmp);
         char *tkn = strtok(dup, " ");
         while (tkn)
         {
             loadMapnikWrapper(tkn);
             tkn = strtok(NULL, " ");
         }
     }


I think this should help getting the renderer running without tirex:
