upgrading

e14 Contributor over 14 years ago

I'm sure this is a dumb question, but I installed the 5.12.0 (upgraded

from 5.11.0).  It installed in it's own directory in "Program Files"

which is fine, but now my board files reference the libraries in the old

5.11.0 directory.  What is the standard way for dealing with this?

BTW, running Windows XP Professional

    My "Standart" is just to set the correct path in control

    panel/options/directories image

    I understand that, but options->libraries has the path as

    "$EAGLEDIR\lbr".  Presumably, the environment variable $EAGLEDIR now

    points to C:\Program Files\EAGLE-5.12.0\lbr rather than C:\Program

    Files\EAGLE-5.11.0\lbr.

     

    I guess what I should do is just copy the lib and ulp directories over

    the ones newly crated and blow the whole 5.11.0 directory away.
