Specify directory as the base for the File command

speedwell · 25th January 2007, 01:08

Seems like this ought to be easy but I've been unable to figure it out by trial and error or searching here/docs.

I'd like to be able to specify a base source directory so that subsequent File commands grab files relative to it. E.G.

FileBase "..\..\Release\"
File app.exe

I also tried using a variable in front of all my File commands but that didn't work either.

Can this be done?

Thanks.

You need to use !define for this to work. Discussed recently here,
