rebol and boot path

 [1/5] from: petr::krenzelok::trz::cz at: 29-Jun-2001 11:46


Hi, just small note - wouldn't it be better for rebol to look for user.r file (and all script run with path-less parameter on the same path as path to .exe is specified): c:/pekr/rebol/command/rebolcmd.exe cookies.r ? I have to copy my user.r into fast-cgi directory or it is not executed. Apache directive will not let me start rebolcmd.exe with additional parameters ... I would imo save us from few problems ... -pekr-

Isn't there a REBOL_HOME environmental variable you can set to set the location of these files? Chris -- New sig in the works Explorer2260 Designer and Coder http://www.starforge.co.uk

So, 1) How/where to set such variable under W2K? 2) is the current aproach really practical? Let's say some externall app launches your rebol, so e.g. apache, so you inherit launcher app directory and you have to specify e.g. c:/pekr/rebol/command/rebol.exe -cs c:/pekr/rebol/command/my-script.r and you are left with following problems: a) it will look for user.r file in launcher app directory b) try to use View and -i switch - it will be ignored (which I reported being a bug) and you will end up with installation screen. View needs two additional files, or it will try install itself ... c) what if you have more rebol exes scattered on your hd? Which of them will you choose as REBOL_HOME? -pekr-

Yes, and can be used on multiuser platform.

Which of them will you choose as REBOL_HOME? Last version of REBOL/Core. :) Sorry don't know about /command... regards.mb

No, it isn't, unless ... se below :-)

OK, then answer two following cases: 1) I want to start rebol process once I log into Netware server. I put following line into my login script: #F:\path\to\rebol -si F:\path\to\rebol\some-script.r ... and you know what? You will be asked for installation, even if -i switch was used. I can't see it correct, not even practical. If -i switch is supposed to save us from installation, it should do so in all cases.The problem is with edit-prefs.r and prefs.r, which are needed. But how do I tell rebol to look for them on the path given in above launch case? ;-) workaround: #F:\path\to\rebol\app.bat where first line of bat is "cd current-dir" 2) How do env variables help you, if you use several instances of View on your hd? workaround & suggestion - introduce new switch -b (boot), to allow us to specify, what directory should rebol boot from ... possible? -pekr-
