starting gem in windows

[Richard Dobson]

This is exactly my setup under Windows2000.

pd is installed at f:\pd, so that the exectuables and dlls are at
f:\pd\bin

I have added this to my path in AUTOEXEC.BAT (root of drive C), so that
a typical path might read:

PATH=C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND;C:\UTILS;F:\PD\BIN


Note that if you just type something like "path=f:\pd\bin" at the
console prompt you have overwritten the existing path for that console
session, so other important things might be lost.

The importance of doing this is that in searching for dlls for an
application, Windows searches the Windows system directories, and the
working directory; as a last resort it searches on all the paths given
in PATH. It also means, of course, that you can run pd from any
directory.


If you want to set the path by hand each session, without losing current
settings, you need to use the command
SET PATH=%PATH%;F:\PD\BIN

This appends F:\PD\BIN to the existing path list.


Gem is in a folder of f:\pd, so that the pd command -lib f:\pd\gem\gem
gets it running.
