Filesystem workspace using wrong directory for Executable?

Post by Griffon26 »

CodeLite version: 14.0.0
Self-compiled? no, codelite/jammy,now 14.0+dfsg-2 amd64
OS: Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS

I just installed codelite and am trying to use a File System Workspace for an existing C++ program I am working on.
I noticed that the path to the executable I can fill in in the workspace settings is relative to my home directory and not to the top level directory I selected for the workspace.

The documentation has this to say about relative paths for the Executable:

A path to the executable to use when debugging or running your program. Note that if you choose to use relative paths here, it should be relative to the workspace file path

However, it also mentions a Working directory setting that my version of codelite doesn't have, so maybe the documentation is for a different version?

Should I go to a more recent version of codelite or am I doing something wrong?

Hi,

I don't use File System workspaces but, if you want a CodeLite 17 jammy deb, see this page.

Regards,

David
