[Solved] An include with a variable path

[devEric69]

Hello,

Is it possible to use a file's inclusion directive, with a variable path like this...

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. {$I ./../../project_1 or project_2 or project_3/foo.inc}

... where project_1, or project_2, or project_3 being a variable inside the path itself, depending on the name of the current project?

No, that's not possible.

What you could work with are the include file search paths passed in through -FiXXX if you use only the filenames.

I don’t understand why you are “going up” twice (..) when your source code files are obviously part of either project 1, 2 or 3. For what reason does ./../foo.inc not work?

For what reason does ./../foo.inc not work?

I have a directory tree like this...:

Code: [Select]

/copyW_common/trunk
/copyW_project1/trunk
/copyW_project2/trunk...so, I'm trying to include in a *.pas file of /copyW_common/trunk: ./../copyW_project1/trunk/foo.inc, when I'm compiling project1. Or to include ./../copyW_project2/trunk/foo.inc, when I'm compiling project2.

Maybe, it could work using $(TargetFile) in another way...

I've found how to include one path or another, depending on the name of the current project, here: https://wiki.freepascal.org/Extending_the_IDE#The_executable_/_target_file_name_of_a_project.

Well, I'm trying to create a compilation directive in and for each project, and then testing them like this, in the common code:

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. {$IF defined(PROJECT_1)}
2.     {$INCLUDE ./../copyW_project1/trunk/foo.inc}
3. {$ElseIf defined(PROJECT_2)}
4.     {$INCLUDE ./../copyW_project2/trunk/foo.inc}
5. {$ENDIF}

It works.
