Wondering if anyone out there remembers this stuff -- circa 1999
It's been a long time, but I'll throw out some guesses based on
fuzzy memories from the distant past :-)
1) How does WO 4.5 on NT define environment variables that don't
appear in the standard NT env-var control panel? I can echo
$NEXT_ROOT in a shell, but there is no def in the panel?? How can
I inspect these hidden variables? (sorry that was 2 in 1)
I believe that the WO environment variables are system, not user
environment variables. Are you looking at the system environment
variables?
Right, system not user. I remember that is the way we had it set at
postal, but here I am fairly sure there is no definition for
$NEXT_ROOT (and some others that I can't recall right now)
I believe that I recall the user environment variables being in an
upper pane of the environment variable panel with the system
environment variables being in the lower pane (or maybe vice-
versa :-) But there shouldn't be any "hidden" environment variables.
User in upper, system in lower, you had it right the first time.
The first one in the list is C:\\WebObjects\Library, which I am
suspicious of the double '\\', but I can't figure out how the
command is putting that together.
I'm suspicious of a PATH that contains "WebObjects\Library". PATH
should contain path prefixes like $NEXT_ROOT\Library and $NEXT_ROOT
\Local\Library.
I am talking about the compile output logged to the lower view of the
ProjectBuilder compile panel. Any variable symbol is resolved and
expanded to a FS path by then. BTW -- when an environment var is
referenced to define another environment var in the NT control panel
it looks like %SYMBOL% - remember that?
What is the value of $NEXT_ROOT as echoed at a shell prompt?
I think C:/WebObjects, but I will double check.
Maybe $NEXT_ROOT is "C:\\WebObjects" which would be non-standard
but possible, I guess. "\\" shouldn't make the path invalid. Does
C:\WebObjects exist? If not, where is the WO root?
Yes, it does exist.
Aloha,
Art
