HOME environment variable - how to access it?

[HJarausch]

Hi,

I want to create a project template for my students.
For that I create a project myself and save it as template afterwards.
But, I don't like to enter my own home directory in the project path.
I'd like to put $HOME/C++-Lab there, where $HOME accesses the HOME environment variable
which gives the name of the current user's home directory (on Linux).

How can I achieve that?

Many thanks for a hint,
Helmut.

You should surround it with braces '$(HOME)'

Thanks, but I have even tried this

$(PATH)/C++-Kurs

but I get "invalid path" though this does exist.

Do you mean: you want to save $(HOME) in the 'New project' dialog? you can't do that.

However, the template that you have created can be used on other computers, since codelite keeps all paths relative. None of the paths will be kept as absolute path

Thanks! Good to know,
