Re: [Bug-apl] Programmatic path configuration?

[Juergen Sauermann]

Hi Elias,

if no library reference is given in APL then library reference 0 (corresponding to the first
path shown in )LIBS) is assumed. Library reference 0 is also used for commands
that do not allow a library reference number (eg. )IN and )OUT).

If no path is given in a preferences file then the path is constructed from APL_LIB_ROOT
by appending /workspaces for libref 0, /wslib1 for libref 1, /wslib2 for libref 2, and so on.
This directory structure was taken from IBM APL2.

If no APL_LIB_ROOT is set then one is searched from directory ',' upwards hoping to find one.

Thanks. What about the workspaces paths?

Hi Elias,

it depends on a number of things (preferences files, environment variable APL_LIB_ROOT, and
current directory) see LibPaths::search_APL_lib_root().

You can view the resulting setting with command )LIBS in APL. I believe in your case APL_LIB_ROOT is
the way to go.

Hello Jürgen,

What is the recommended way to configure the paths now? I need to be able to specify the prefix path as well as the path to the workspace when running GNU APL as a library (in Android).

Note that I don't know the path until the program actually starts, but I have access to it before running the init function (the one that is normally called from main()).

Elias
