trying to INCLUDE .INC file which exists in multiple directories

Posted by Bob A on May 05, 2010 at 05:39:56:

running build 391

had two directories (DSK and SYO) where DSK appears first before SYO

some time ago converted USE files from CED to .IBS format (keeping the "^" prefix) and then all MTB source and USE files were .IBS files in SYO

decided yesterday to start to:
Rename .IBS files to .INC format (keeping the "^" prefix)
change USE to INCLUDE in the MTB .IBS source
start re-compiling all my MTB programs as I go along.

didn't know, however, that I had the same .INC file in DSK and SYO

the compile of the only program I changed yesterday didn't complain about the INCLUDE statement, but also didn't copy in any of the source information, so every name in the INCLUDE .INC file was undefined.

when I deleted the superfluous .INC from DSK, it generated the object.

maybe this has been fixed in a later release... then again, maybe it hasn't come up yet

Thanx
