Using System Environment Variables

vv73:
Can I use System Variable, such as $HOME
in General Settings, f.e.
for Terminal Program to run Console application?

Like this

${HOME}/myConsoleapp

Or not?

Thanks!

Jenna:
As far as I know, this does not work directly, but you can try to run the command in an own shell.
If yoiu start with /bin/sh -c the system variables get expanded.

vv73:
Unfortunatelly even

/bin/sh -c /home/admin/.codeblocks/wincall

there does not work, because CB does not expand expand it as I need

Executing: /bin/sh -c /home/admin/.codeblocks/wincall /usr/bin/cb_console_runner "/home/admin/test" (in /home/admin)

sh needs one string, but CB does not make it.

If to write

/bin/sh -c "/home/admin/.codeblocks/wincall"

we get

Executing: /bin/sh -c "/home/admin/.codeblocks/wincall" /usr/bin/cb_console_runner "/home/admin/test" (in /home/admin)

Three strings anyway...

 

vv73:
Without -c and quotes

/bin/sh /home/admin/mycall
works well
but
/bin/sh ${HOME}/mycall
no...

If you use /bin/sh, the variable gets expandend by the shel and not by C::B, so use just $HOME .
