Configuration of BlackBox

Post by Zinn »

There is a limited configuration of BlackBox by adding a /use directory.

I would like to separate my own subsystems from the original BlackBox system. So I miss a to add another directory which contains my own subsystems.

1. Working directory: D:\Project contains my daily used files
2. Library directory: D:\Library contains some subsystem from CPC or subsystems written by my own
3. System directory: D:\BlackBox contains the original BlackBox files

The working directory is added via run parameter with /USE
How to add the library directory? Also with a run paraemeter (e.g. /LIB) or via a command inside BlackBox?
The system directory is defined via the start up directory of BlackBox.exe itself.

The search order is working directory first, library directory second and Blackbox system directory third.
All compilation and changes are stored in the working directory.
When BlackBox started without /use then all changes stored in the original directories system or library itself.

Any comments about this request?

I have a top level "Project" menu item under which i have all of my projects listed.
Each project has a "Notebook", a "Docu", a "Mod", and a "Rsrc" listing.
I get everything I need that way without having to create /SUB or /LIB configurations.

What is the /SUB option supposed to do?

And what is the meaning of it?
I mean what is the difference to /USE D:\github\jtempl\http
or /USE D:\github\jtempl\http\Http ?

commonly, a lib(path) may contain many subs,but I only need one of them;
I had to copy it to a separate path to ignore others; it's not convenient when it is in a state of active development;

ooh, I think you can ignore this option, It's just useful in some situations(testing)!

the /LIB option maybe useful, but can be achieved by expanding /USE option instead of add new one;

thanks, Doug!
If i understand correctly,you put all subs in a single dir, together with origin framework,
but i think it's not what we look for; I prefer use a separate directory for each task, Include as few subs as necessary;
use a bat file to launch bb client, easy to maintain;
