Repository Folder

neilporven — Tue, 30 May 2017 16:36:08 GMT

Hi Everyone,

I see that the new KDS 3.2.0 is out. I have a repository folder on a NAS drive in my network.

I would like everyone in our company to have access to this folder and be able to use the

items inside.

Currently the only way I can do this is to copy the item I would like to use and drop it in my

project folder. Second go out to the project's properties and add the item folder to the Include paths (-I).

Third, add my include.h of the item in the file I would like to use it.

I would like to know if in KDS 3.2.0 I can use Include paths (-I), but not have to copy the item

I want to use inside my repository into my project file? and if possible how?

Thank you,

Neil

Hi Alice,

Thank you for the link. The tutorial goes through what they call linking of the files and folders, but ultimately

the file/folder/functions appear in the the project itself. Its like dragging the file/folders/functions into the project.

I don't know if its possible, but I was looking to actually linking a path where my repository is and linking one,

two, three, etc... items in the repository without to actually drag them in the project itself.

Something like this:

Then be able to address the members inside of the RS232.

The example above is different from this:

This is following the tutorial method which does work.

Like I said, I don't know if this is possible?

Regards,

Neil

Hello Neil,

-Maybe you can make a lib about your repository, then add the lib .

-And about the link files, it is not copy and past into project, all of your team members

can use it , they just link to the file of repository, if the file in repository changed ,

the member's also changed . The folder under project just a virtual .

Hope it helps

Have a great day,

Hi Alice,

"-Maybe you can make a lib about your repository, then add the lib ."

Do you have an example of how this is done?

Thank you,
