This document describes the terms used in the explanation of compiler error messages.
MakePath
The MakePath is the path (list of folders) that the compiler uses to find files needed to compile an application. You can view the current MakePath the compiler is using at any time by clicking on the Paths tab of the compiler and viewing the contents of the Make Path form.
If you are compiling from inside the Studio, click the Halt button of the compiler to halt compilation so you can view the Paths tab.
The MakePath is assembled from several different paths, including:
AppSrcPath
DDSrcPath
DataPath
HelpPath
These paths belong to the current workspace, as well as the SystemDFPath registry value.
You can view the value of the SystemDFPath registry by navigating to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Data Access Worldwide\DataFlex\Workspaces in the Windows Registry Editor.
