Lack of support for global variables in compiler directory
« on: October 10, 2006, 03:38:33 am »
I tried using a global variable to specify the path to my compiler, but it doesnt work.

$(#thedir)\MinGW will not work, but if i substitute in the value of thedir then it works..  It does work, however, for the compiler include directory.  Any chances on adding this feature?

I tried to divine which revision of Code::Blocks you are using, but it doesn't work.
