Compiler variables in #include directive

[apai]

Hi,

According to the SetupBuilder documentation, compiler variables can be used in #include directives. e.g. if I have compiler variable SOME_DIR set to "C:\Foo", then

#include script "UninstallScript.sbi" from "[SOME_DIR]"

should work as long as C:\Foo\UninstallScript.sbi exists. Is this correct? I can't seem to get it to work, though it does when I hard code it:

#include script "UninstallScript.sbi" from "C:\Foo"

thanks,

Amar

Amar,

Unfortunately, the documentation is incorrect here :-( The #include directive cannot process compiler variables.

We have changed this in the SetupBuilder 6.1 documenation now.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention.!

Thanks. Support for variables in #include paths is a desirable feature because the machine I would be developing our installer on has different source paths than our auto-build machine, and it would be best to configure the installer source path via a compiler variable and then specify #include paths with this variable as a base. That way the auto-build could just set the compiler variable. I'm not sure how we will automate our builds in the current situation in the case where source paths differ on dev machine & auto build machine.

Amar,

Just place your include scripts into the "core" \Include subfolder under the main SB6 installation folder and you can auto-build on any machine ;-)

BTW, SetupBuilder 6.1 comes with some very cool new features (new command line compiler switches, new Releases feature, and so much more). We are working on the updated documentation right now.
