Hi,

I am converting some old lazarus code to latest stable lazarus my code ported from Delphi 7 Enterprise for Cross Platform development.

Also I have Code Browser for Linux installed with default configuration. I have *not* opened it (very busy) and i am a newbie user. Would appreciate url to short graphical intro tutorials about setting project paths and setting a good code editor (any recommendations?)

I have a new Lazarus installation which i have customized many of the preferences for it

My code is here:

/Home/Desktop/DropBox/Public/lazarus/Lazarus_source_code/

with subfolders for each project e.g

dtm_maker <-- program to randomly generate digital terrain models suitable for importing into adventure games. Generated as a memo of ASCII characters. This is my test project

it contains sub-folders

delphi_source (files here for 1st version)
/2.0.alpha/
/backup
lazarus_source/ (files here for 1st version)
/2.0.alpha/
/backup

"Where do I set the path to my project main directory?"

The project main directory is where the .lpi file is.

If you are searching for a global search path: There is none. If you want to share some units with several projects see here: http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Lazarus_Packages#Creating_a_package_for_your_common_units

Not really. Back in the days when I used Delphi 5 Enterprise and 7 Enterprise I would do the following:

I would create a shortcut on the desktop of my Window XP Home development pc and in the shortcut i would set the default path for the application (delphi.exe) to be C:\delphi_source which is the folder where I have all the subfolders for my Delphi components and components as well as lots of freeware and demo code.

This folder has about 300 or more folders... e.g. project names or YEAR_MONTH (2005_05 for May 2005) with more subfolders.

As this is so big and difficult to manage I wanted to trial Code Browser which came free on a Linux magazine dvd a few months ago.

It is for Windows and Linux

If you haven't even opened it because you are very busy. Do you expect us to do it for you?!? And what do you expect us to do? What is 'Code browser for linux'? And what is it's project path?

Actually, FYI, and I am not looking for sympathy but just to explain... Over the past 4 weeks both my desktop and laptop have Linux OS (Ubuntu and Fedora) being reinstalled and updated. Also I have changed ISP from bigpond (who are hopeless) to iinet business plan who give great tech support. I was reconfiguring my modem and I had to reinstall Linux numerous times. Without internet at home for about 2 weeks so no updates.

Hence I still need to reinstall Code-Browser before I can use it. That's why I haven't started it. (I was mistaken that I had it installed tho' the computer shop installed it for me b4 i lost it)

In Lazarus the project path is the path of the project-file. You can't set that. (well, by moving the file to another place) Further, there is no question in your post. Was it to amuse us? What do you want from us?

Actually I too am trying to be helpful. I thought that CB could be a useful tool. ;^)))
