Setting environment variables problem

Post by uwave »

New user here.

I am attempting to compile a large C project.

I set the required environment variables @ settings>>Environment Variables

I created a new environment set called "ATN" and added my environment variables to it.

Under project settings, the "Environment variable set to use" is set to"ATN".


I get several compiler errors when building the project because the environment variables are not being seen (multiple definitions of structs and variables)



What is wrong here?

Where do you use environment variables and for what purpose ?

Did you want to use Preprocessor (defines) instead ? (in Project settings:Common setting>Compiler).

That is answer.

Thank you Jarod42.

You are right.

I could not find "preprocessor" anywhere -i thought maybe Codelite was referring preprocessor definitions as environment vars.

I also mistook "workspace settings" for "project settings".....

Too many tabs..... I suppose I should just explore every tab and "see what is under every rock".


BTW, do you know where to set runtime arguments for the debugger?
