Propellent search path

jazzed

For Jeff,

Most programs look in the user's "current directory" for files specified on the command line. Propellent does not.

I put propellent.exe in a directory in my path, cd to another directory containing source to compile, and run propellent to compile, propellent looks for the file in the propellent directory unless I specify an absolute path for the file to compile. This is not "typical" command line behaviour; can you address this?

Thanks.

Did you try prepending ".\" to your relative path? This will ensure that the "relative path" actually is relative to the current directory.

Yes, but no luck. I ended up having to fully qualify it which is not so bad of course.
Having to spend time finding a solution was slightly annoying. The environment was a Makefile.

top    = hello
libdir = "$(PWD)\..\Library"
BUILDER = propellent /lib $(libdir) /compile /savebinary
LOADER  = propellent /PORT AUTO "$(PWD)\$(top).binary"
all:  Makefile $(top).binary
 $(LOADER)
 
$(top).binary: $(top).spin
 $(BUILDER) "$(PWD)\$<"
