InForm-PE

[TempodiBasic]

The Inform-pe has chained .BI files so when you compile (or compile and run a project ) you need all the .BI files pack.
They are the same needed when I want shared a my app and the user want compile it on his machine without installing Inform-pe on it.
I dunno how huge or useful is the use of a generic path to add to the absolute path used into .BI files for example
in the project file there is for default these $include:

Code: (Select All)

': External modules: ---------------------------------------------------------------

'$Include:'InForm/InForm.bi'

'$Include:'InForm/xp.uitheme'

'$Include:'Myproject.frm'

while in Inform.Bi there is 

Code: (Select All)

'$include:'InformCommon.bi'

that is in the same folder of Inform.BI so IDE can find it easily
and in this last there are

Code: (Select All)

'$Include:'InFormVersion.bi'

'$Include:'extensions/HashTable.bi'

the first is in the same folder of InformCommon.bi and the second in the relative path "extensions/" starting from the folder of InformCommon.bi

a way to mantain this hierarchy and to make flexible the path of Inform is to add at the start of each relative path an absolute path taken from a file dialog box SetInformLibraryPath ...and SHARED it as a Global shared variable in the main module
for example  in Inform.BI

Code: (Select All)

': External modules: ---------------------------------------------------------------

'$Include: AbsolutePath$ + 'InForm/InForm.bi'

'$Include: AbsolutePath$ + 'InForm/xp.uitheme'

'$Include: AbsolutePath$ + 'Myproject.frm'

and in InformCommon.BI

Code: (Select All)

'$Include: AbsolutePath$ + 'InFormVersion.bi'

'$Include: AbsolutePath$ + 'extensions/HashTable.bi'
