Compiling

[asharpham]

This is a very basic question which will tell you of my competency: Why does "..\build" only work in my "MySourceCode" subdirectory? How can I get the compiler to work in other folders so I can keep my test projects separate?

Alan,

Use the HMG IDE (drive:\HMG.3.4.4\IDE\IDE.EXE) to compile and then no worries about build!

Or add your hmg directory in PATH (...;c:\hmg.3.4.4 )

Or search on forum topic with utility SET_HMGPATH and do it

I am working with this simple BAT inside the folder where
I have the new amplication I put the main file
Example Main.prg and OK

build.3.4.4_64.bat

@ECHO OFF
call c:\hmg.3.4.4_64\build64.bat Main.prg % *

Sorry that no English

Thanks Mustafa. I guess I'm still struggling with why we have to use "..\" before the "build" command. Some sort of DOS thing.

"..\" is used to represent previous directory path short cut, instead you can use c:\hmg.3.4.4_64\build64.bat Main.prg

Ok that makes sense. Thanks for the lesson. I'm amazed at how much DOS & Clipper I've forgotten!
