Simple thing but I’m finding it’s easier to run TADS from the command line than the IDE, at least when setting up the project. So I have my Burglar.t3m and my start.t. I run “t3make -f burglar.t3m” and it starts to work but then fails because the obj directory isn’t there.
I realize I can just manually create the directory of course but why doesn’t the compiler just do that for me since it knows exactly what needs to be done? I’d make this a change request if there’s a way to do it. Compilers should be able to create their dependent directories when those directories are specified.
I see it. Using -FC does the trick. Still seems like that should be a default, no? What would be the reason for NOT creating the directories if they don’t exist? Then again, I suppose an extra option isn’t that big of a hassle.
You can put options directly in the makefile. Like:
-Fy obj
-Fo obj
-FC
There was a discussion some years ago about which should be the default. Some people were in favor of creating directories by default, some people were against it. I was against it. But I don’t remember why anymore It’s been too long.
It’s been too long.
