BaCon4 gui gtk

[alexfish]

Hi Peter

found that the gui makes the exec in tmp dir : and is not been copied to source directory

Hi Alex,

You have to set the compilation "Temp dir" to the current directory (see screenshot).

If you leave it to "/tmp" then everything is put there, also the resulting binary. This is the same when using BaCon from the command line using the '-d' option.

Hi Peter

Thanks for the info

the difficult bit here its , yes can see the directory from the status line

/path/to/mydir/.../file

to a new user ??

hence enter a single dot '.' notation does the job, to a novice ??

Dear Alex,

Unfortunately I do not completely understand what your question entails?

So maybe I am not understanding you right, but the "." means the current directory. The ".." means the parent directory. This is considered to be common Unix knowledge, also to a novice to BaCon...

Again I am sorry if I do not understand your remarks correctly.

Best regards,
Peter

Hi Peter

documentation
-d: determine the directory where BaCon should store the generated C files (defaults to the current directory)

bacon -h
-d <tmpdir> Temporary directory (default: .)

What can I say

Hope this helps

from configs since I put the . notation in the gui not sure on this one but bacon exec defaulted to .
, since I was using that before discovering the missing exec ,
indent 0
linenr 1
wrap 2
savepage 0
font DejaVu Sans Mono 12
color #FFFFFF
window_size 1069x882
shell xterm -hold -sb -geometry 132x40 -e @
compiler cc
options
libraries
tmpdir .
scheme cobalt

Hi Alex,

So your point is that the resulting binary in a shell appears in the current directory by default, while the GUI uses '/tmp' by default?

But there is some logic to it. If you are using BaConGUI then you do not want to clutter your system with all kinds of temporary C files. If these files are created into '/tmp' then the operating system will take care of cleaning up, just in case something goes wrong.

So the GUI version aims for ease of usage, and uses a different configuration altogether, because its logic is different - it is a GUI, and not a shell binary. When using the GUI, you do not want to check your filesystem from within a shell every once and a while just to see if you need to clean up some trash.

Besides, when using BaConGUI, the resulting binary also is executed from there. No need to lookup the binary at all. Or to go into a shell for that matter.

Anyway, if you change the Tempdir in the GUI then it will remember this for the next time.

Hope this clarifies,

Kind regards
Peter

Hi Peter

The gtk gui Scratchpad does not work if the gui is launched from the system menu launcher

it will work if the .bac is opened in a directory IE 'open with' bacongui gtk

Hi Alex,

I already noticed this problem, it was fixed on May 7 (see commit [708f5e83a6] in fossil).

If you have time, please update your BaCon installation and let me know if you still experience the same issue.
