That is useful to know the PATH variable can be updated for current process. Nice blog writeup. Thanks Chris. cheers -ben On Sun, 28 Jun 2020 at 23:49, Christopher Fuhrman < christopher.fuhrman@etsmtl.ca> wrote:

My apologies (I have been coding too much JavaScript lately) - this should have been:

modifiedPath := 'D:\DEV_FreeCAD\build\bin\;' , path.

Cheers,

Hello,

Why not use the PATH environment variable in Windows to do what you want? I deal with setting variables used with LibC in my blog entry at https://fuhrmanator.github.io/2019/03/16/LibC-Pharo-experiments.html

You can get PATH by using:

path := OSEnvironment current getEnv: 'PATH'.

Then you can add your directory to it (note that I put a semicolon for path separator in Windows):

modifiedPath := 'D:\DEV_FreeCAD\build\bin\;' + path.

Then you have to set the variable in the system:

result := OSEnvironment current setEnv: 'PATH' value: modifiedPath.

You should probably get (again) the variable PATH (as above) to make sure the path was set correctly.

Then just do:

result := LibC runCommand: 'makebox.step'.

Let us know if it works for you.

Cheers!

In pharo class side , i am creating class side method like as /*makebox LibC system: 'D:\DEV_FreeCAD\build\bin\makebox.step'*/ SO i want to set /D:\DEV_FreeCAD\build\bin\ / as a variable like path than i can write like as *LibC system: 'path\makebox.step'*

how to do that, if anyone have idea please share the idea with me.

Thanks for your help
