[Implemented] Compiler write output to temporary directory

Post by tinman »

Would it be possible for the compiler to write any intermediate files (and final exe's if no path specified) to the temporary directory rather than the PBCompiler directory? Perhaps if a command line option or preference was set?

It would mean I could take PureBasic to work on a CD and use it during my lunch hour without having to copy things onto the work computers.
If you paint your butt blue and glue the hole shut you just themed your ass but lost the functionality.

Very fair, I would like to do it since a while but guess what ? It's still not done :oops:. It's not as fast to change as it appears, but I will try to do it for the next version.
