1. include (variable with path/file) ?
Oh no!
I think I have run into the "conditional include" problem I've seen others
complain about!?
I just spent some time making a "search" routine to find whatever versions
of Win32Lib might be resident on a users system, so as to allow selection of
v50+, in order to find and run all the examples that are sent with it (just
in case it *wasn't* put into the "include" folder); but having *found* and
(user) selected a directory with Win32Lib.ew in it, (returned in
DirectoryWithWin32LibInIt), I then said:
include DirectoryWithWin32LibInIt & "Win32Lib.ew"
but it won't take it. Won't take any variable placed there as far as I can
tell.
My suspicion is that there is *no* current solution to this, right??

You *could* write something like this:
integer file
file = open("dynamic.e", "w")
puts( file, DirectoryWithWin32LibInIt & "Win32Lib.ew" & '\n' )
close( file )
include dynamic.e
But you won't be able to bind it!

There's actually a lib in the archives (I think called dynaminc) that takes
care of this for you.

Matt,
Takes care of the "not able to bind", or the original include problem?

David,
And I thought I was up foo creek with a shoe that didn't fit! Not able to
bind it is fine, it's for my Win32Lib Examples Gateway program. Thanks!

Glad it helps. Pete was actually doing some pretty clever stuff with that
technique, but eventually had to scuttle it because of file limits.

David,
But when I run it I get an error:
C:\Fuphoria\Win32Lib\Versions\v50\DirName.e:1
C has not been declared
C:\Fuphoria\Win32Lib\Versions\v50\Win32Lib.ew
yet if I write:
include C:\Fuphoria\Win32Lib\Versions\v50\Win32Lib.ew
it works just fine. What's happening?

It's just like including a normal file. It won't take the text from the
included file and put it directly into your file. Instead, the include
file is parsed just as any other include file and it must conform to
Euphoria syntax. So given: include dynamic.e
Euphoria reads it like this:
C:\Fuphoria\Win32Lib\Versions\v50\Win32Lib.ew
instead of:
include C:\Fuphoria...
Of course, the interpreter has to use a seperate namespace for the local
identifiers etc., but that's basically how it's seen. Your entire include
statement is replaced, not just the file name.

At first I couldn't understand what you were getting at, but eventually I
realized that what you were telling me was that I had to include the word
"include" in the file in front of the path/file, so the interpreter could
execute "include path/file", instead of trying to execute "path/file".
Thanks!

Sorry I didn't simplify my answer... I guess I'm in a verbose mode
