Title: Using a environment global variable outside of default set.
Post by: indigo0086 on September 24, 2008, 06:54:12 pm

for example, I have a set defined as opengl, and a variable called glfw within that set.  Now when I try to set $(#glfw) as my location for glfw when starting a project, it doesn't accept it, but if that variable is defined within the default set, it will accept it.

My question is how do I qualify that the name belongs to that set.  I tried $(#opengl.glfw) but that doesn't work (because that is really reserved for the lib or include subdirectory.

Did you change from the default set to your new set?

Change the value in "Current Set" pull-down to the set you wish to use.

FYI: It is best to do this with no projects opened till you figure out the problems of doing it.

This does not work at all. There is no inheritance/membership for variable sets.

If you need glfw within the default and your opengl set, add it to both.

But how do I keep it within the opengl set and still call on it when I need it.  As it is it's not recognized in the Opengl set.
