Multiple path for PLAYDATE_LIB_PATH

SDK Feature Requests
1

Dear,

Now, pdc command accepts multiple -I options. Like

pdc -I lualib -I otherlib Source test.pdx

Above command is running well.

But, PLAYDATE_LIB_PATH environment variable is not support multiple path.
I've tested a semi-colon separated list like PATH envirionment variable, not suppored.

Please support multiple path in the future version.
Best regards.

Looks like it uses colons (not semicolons) to separate multiple paths.

Dear,

Thank you for reply.

I've tested ; and ,, but these weren't working.

test_multiple_lib_path.zip (6.2 KB)

Above is test case.
After unzipped, you can test.

$ rake cmake:simulator:debug build

Maybe, it will be failed.

❯ rake cmake:simulator:debug build
cd _build/simulator.debug
cd -
rake build:simulator:debug
cd _build/simulator.debug
cd -
cd _build/simulator.debug
PLAYDATE_LIB_PATH="/Users/***/src/Playdate/test_multiple_lib_path/lualib,/Users/***/src/Playdate/test_multiple_lib_path/lualib2" make all
(...)
/Users/***/Developer/PlaydateSDK/bin/pdc -sdkpath /Users/***/Developer/PlaydateSDK /Users/***/src/Playdate/test_multiple_lib_path/Source /Users/***/src/Playdate/test_multiple_lib_path/test_multiple_lib_path.simulator.debug.pdx
error: /Users/***/src/Playdate/test_multiple_lib_path/Source/main.lua:1: No such file: sub2

In Rakefile, at line 98-99, you can change , to ;. So, it was same.

I think, since the pdc option supports it, it would be nice if the environment variable could support it as well.

Best regards.

I think you may have misunderstood. It already supports multiple paths using colon :, like so: PLAYDATE_LIB_PATH="/Users/***/src/Playdate/test_multiple_lib_path/lualib:/Users/***/src/Playdate/test_multiple_lib_path/lualib2"

Oops.

I've misunderstood. I've misread colon to comma.

I've challenged using colon :. Working well.

Thank you.
Best regards.
