Can't get GLOG_log_dir to work #63

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
Hi, it seems that the GLOG_log_dir environment variable on my Visual Studio 
2008 project just doesnt work.

I have a libglog lib project and an executable project. In the properties of 
the executable project i put GLOG_log_dir=$(TargetDir) in the preprocessor 
definitions field and compiled, but this doesnt worked.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.3.1 on Windows 7

I forgot to tell that i also tried without the $(TargetDir) macro, and i tried 
also in the example project that comes with the glog download package.

you need to have that environment variable at run-time not at compile time as 
far as I understood. Its the same as with GLOG_logtostderr=1

Correct, GLOG_log_dir is an environment variable and not a preprocessor macro.  
I am not familiar with Visual Studio, but the following information may be 
relevant:

Marking as WontFix because this is working as intended.
