Clarion IDE Configuration Settings

#1

I know there is a file where you can specify where Clarion should create it’s map and other generated files when compiling a project.

Anyone know where in the help file these definitions exists or is described in detail?
Or can post an example?

#2

Basically, open up %APPDATA%\Softvelocity\Clarion and poke around. Or if you use /ConfigDir, you’ll have the files in your Clarion folder somewhere.

There used to be an option to set your own paths where clarion generate the .map, etc, files.
My intention is to define locations that make it easy to cleanup after a compile.

#4

You would use the redirection file for that. Lots of stuff in the help about that.

To help you… I use relative paths off the project directory to save stuff.
So .\images .\src .\obj Keeps the project directory clean

Also note there is a menu pick to clean the solution
Build > Clean Solution
Also accessible via the Solution Explorer, Highlight a project, Right click menu

I believe this deletes the .obj and .rsc for you

I do the opposite. I send all “temp” type files (like obj) to a single directory so I can clean it out from time to time. (But then again I have hundreds of example apps which I compile a lot) My RED reads;

[Debug]
*.obj = c:\tempobj
*.res = c:\tempobj
*.rsc = c:\tempobj
*.FileList.xml = c:\tempobj
*.map = c:\tempobj
*.lib = .
*.dll = .
*.exe = .

[Release]
*.obj = c:\tempobj
*.res = c:\tempobj
*.rsc = c:\tempobj
*.FileList.xml = c:\tempobj
*.map = c:\tempobj
*.lib = .
*.dll = .
*.exe = .

Cheers
