#include "directory/file.ulp"

Former Member

I've been working on a ULP that is a bit involved & spread across

multiple files and directories.  I am having trouble getting files

located in one directory to be able to reliably include files from

another directory.  The documentation I've found is very thin & doesn't

really cover how to do this indepth.

 

From what I have determined, the include path is affected by the location

where the eagle binary was invoked.  How can I work around this?  I would

expect that since eagle has the 'default ulp directory list', the file

path should somehow be relative to that location, but it doesn't appear

to be.

 

Any thoughts?

 

Thanks,

Wes

 

  • I may not have been very clear, so I'll try a simple example.

     

    File list:

    a.ulp

    b/b.ulp

    c/c.ulp

     

    a.ulp can include b/b.ulp or c/c.ulp using:

    #include "b/b.ulp" /* or c/c.ulp */

     

    How can I enable c/c.ulp to be able to include b/b.ulp?

    #include "b/b.ulp" /* Fails */

    #include "../b/b.ulp" /* Fails */

    #include "/b/b.ulp" /* Fails */

     

    Why would I do this?  To try to make the directories as clean as possible

    (given I've got around 20 files and still growing).  The worst case

    scenario is to dump them all in 1 directory & rename everything (sigh).

     

    unit-test.ulp

    program.ulp

    calc/calc_a.ulp

    calc/calc_b.ulp

    unit-tests/test_calc_a.ulp

    unit-tests/test_calc_b.ulp

    unit-test-framework/framework.ulp

     

    Did that help?  Any ideas?  Should I stop trying?

     

    Thanks,

    Wes
