Local Connection Shortcuts

Details and examples of local connection shortcuts.

In this mode, the Runtime System is on the same computer as GDC. To start your program on the Runtime System, GDC will simply start an executable (giving it some parameters). This executable will typically be:

fglrun started in the application directory, or
a batch file that will start all applications

You will have to provide the following information:

the command line to select the executable
the parameters needed by the executable
the working directory

You can have, for example:

Table 1. Local connection shortcut examples
Command Line	Working Directory	Parameters	Remarks
`fglrun`	`/home/fgl/demo/`	`stores.42m`	fglrun should be in the PATH
`c:\<mydir>\fgl\bin\fglrun.exe`	`c:\genero\demo`	`stores.42m`
`c:\demos\stores.bat`			stores.bat is a batch file that sets the environment and starts the program.
`C:\WINNT\system32\CMD.EXE /C "d:\fjs\fgl\envcomp.bat && fglrun` `D:\app\gift.42r"`	`D:\app`		This will start envcomp.bat in FGLDIR to set the environment, then start the gift application. The Working directory is the directory where fglrun can find the required files.

Important: If you have the configuration shown below, you must be sure that all the environment variables are set before starting the application. The variables can be set in the Environment Variables system dialog.
