Environment Variable

<< < (2/2)

ok ..I have set an environment variable for my Project.
I am setting the variable at Project->Build Options->Custom Variables. Lets say I define a variable REP=C:\\Temp.
Now I am specifying the path of my files to be REP\\src\\base\\tinyxml.cpp
Then when I try to open this file by double click, "it says file not found".

unfortunately, custom variables aren't environment variables, they only exist within cb scope. you need to use the environment variables plugin. set a group of environment vars in settings -> environment -> "environment variables" then activate that set globally with set now or in project scope using project -> properties -> envvar options

puneet_m:
I am using the latest version of the code-block and I don't see any of these options in my code-block. So, do I need to install install any other plugin for environment variables?

dmoore:
I thought it was a contrib plugin - have you installed those?
