Path Variables as in?  Sorry, for these simple qustions.  While I know C/C++ (and other languages) and have plenty of experience structure like this I didn't learn.  VC++, or the companies I worked for, hid that stuff pretty well.

Put the directories where your stuff is located in there:



If you use HEAD, you can use global user variables for those locations too, this is a lot more comfortable.

jmccay:
HEAD, I am assuming you are refering to the unix command, prints the first amount of lines specified at the command line.  I know I can put the directories in there, but I must admit, I am missing the connection with the unix head command.  I was thinking about it, and can you put a custom variable under the custom variables tab and reference it in the directories list?  Like:

LIB_DIR=c:\libraries

and then in the directories tab:

$LIB_DIR$\wxWidgets_2.6.2

Can this be done?  Where does HEAD fit in?  Unless you're talking about a cvs command.  I don't know a lot about cvs.

  As for global user variables, are you talking about OS variables?  I guess I don't understand the use of HEAD you are refering too.

HEAD is the most recent CVS version :)

Yes, this is exactly the purpose of those variables :)

No, he was talking about the new feature called "global compiler variables" which can be found in HEAD (cvs!). It's *like* custom variables but they differ in two important ways:

1) they 're global (i.e. *not* project-specific)
2) if the project you 're opening contains unknown global variables, the user is prompted to define them.

For more info look into the wiki entry about global user variables.

jmccay:
Cool.  I'll have to check it out.  Time to take a look at that build I downloaded with last major chance.
