Running cross compiler from PATH

[marianodominguez]

it seems compiler can only be ran form install directory:

/home/mariano/8bit-samples/fastbasic ➜ fastbasic git:(master) ✗ fb pi.bas Can't open target definition file './default.tgt'

is there a FB_HOME or other variable it can be used to point to that directory ?

[dmsc]

Hi!

Yes, this is because getting the executable path in a multi-platform way is not trivial, so the compiler expects to be executed with a path that points to the location...

I solve this with a simple script in my ~/bin/ folder:

#!/bin/bash
exec "/home/daniel/src/fastBasic/fastbasic-git/build/compiler/$(basename $0)" "$@"

What about an optional FB_home env variable?. If it is there. Use it ?

Yes, it is an option, but it is about the same difficulty for the user than using a script ;)
