PureBasic Forums - English

Hello

Yesterday, i try to create several tools in the IDE and impossible to have the path of the IDE
I have read several post like this one
http://www.purebasic.fr/english/viewtop ... 88#p447388
But nothing really good

The solution is create an exe, for example "Path.exe" With GetModuleFileName_(0, @Application, 255) and call it by the tools menu, but i'm forced each time to put it in each folder of each version...
For only one line of code

I think that can be useful to know what IDE/Compiler call an exe, furthermore the version, and like it's impossible to have this information...
We have all this information now, but only in CONSTANTS...
#PB_Compiler_Version
#PB_Compiler_Home
and if you move your exe on a USB key..."waloo !!!" (French expression)

Finally, i use the runprogram() association, but if any PB have installed in the PC...."RE WALLOO !!!" (Always french expression but too time )

Have a good day

Hi Kwai chang caine,

Am I right? You want to get the path to the IDE, which is calling the tools program.

Try the environment variable: GetEnvironmentVariable("PB_TOOL_IDE")
See documentation for external IDE tools: http://www.purebasic.com/documentation/ ... tools.html

cu,
guido

Hello Helpy
I take a look at your tips, and say my mean to you, if It's exactely what i want
Thanks for your answer

Yeeees !!!!!!
You have right, thanks, thanks, thanks, thanks, thanks
In fact like usually, KCC have a train to late
But somewhere, that mean, KCC not always say ONLY bullshit, because FRED have already added the %HOME parameter
I have not see it, because i use the 5.23, and the %HOME appears only at the v5.30...

For the second request, you have always right, thanks, thanks, thanks, thanks, thanks
Just a little thing, i have make several try and see the parameter is "PUREBASIC_HOME" and not "PB_TOOL_IDE"
And here i have no apology, because even under v4.51 that works

Well.....KCC have again open is big mouth for nothing
Perhaps the gods hide this thread at FRED...else...i give the permission at FRED to move it or in the garbage...or in beginer

In all case, thanks to you, i have resolving my problem
Again thanks HELPY, and have a very good day

PUREBASIC_HOME ist not documented! There is no hint in the PureBasic help.

And the "PB_TOOL_IDE" return nothing
Perhaps FRED have changed something and fiorget to put it on the doc

In fact...i have found it, thanks to an enumeration But without you, never i think to the EnvironmentVariable for have the dynamical path of the IDE

Kwai chang caine wrote:And the "PB_TOOL_IDE" return nothing

PB_TOOL_IDE is documented!
See documentation for external IDE tools: http://www.purebasic.com/documentation/ ... tools.html

Yes you have right
And several other PB_TOOLS furthermore
Perhaps someone have the answer at this question ???

PUREBASIC_HOME is documented e.g. here.

Seriously:
PUREBASIC_HOME can be optionally set by the user. It is mentioned e.g. in the Linux "Install" file.

In fact in my case no.
I need the path for have what ide runnning a tool

I have a big purebasic folder
Inside, ALL the version of pb (2.0 at 5.31) when you love, nothing is too much
Beside all pb folder, a folder of tools, a folder of preference, exemples, etc...
I must can be acces of préférences, tools, etc by each version

Like this, i run a v4.51 i have exactely the same toolbar, same configuration etc... that in v5.31
Thats works fine, exept sometime i run a tool and it must return result in the version parent
And if i don't know what version have running the tool i can't do this return

I can't send the version at the tool, with the tools manager, because the file config of toolbar is common at all the versions..
Without PURE_HOME i'm in the pooh !!
