Problem running "tool"

Open proteusGIT opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

Hi, I would like to run make using a custom tool (as defined in the menu). However, when setting the program to "C:\\cygwin64\\bin\\bash" in my custom tool, I get Program not found: C:\Program Files (x86)\RText\"C:\\cygwin64\\bin\\bash" as an error message. Is it really not intended to run tools outside the RText directory? I mean, I could add a tool there that forwards my request but that seems not to be the optimal solution.

Got it working now:

  • Program: `....\cygwin64\bin\bash.exe``
  • Directory: C:\Users\XXX\Desktop (probably irrelvant)
  • Arguments: --login, -c, cd \"${file_dir}\";pwd;make

Still sounds like a bug. Are you saying you needed a specific working directory, and leaving that field blank didn't work?
