You are here:

LYCIA_DIR

Specifies the path to the folder where Lycia is installed (is obligatory for correct Lycia behavior).

Syntax:

LYCIA_DIR=<path to folder>

Usage and examples:

We do not recommend changing this variable because this might affect Lycia behavior.

At installation, Lycia uses this folder to locate important libraries, files, and executables.

At compilation and when running applications, these libraries, files, and executables are taken from the folder specified in LYCIA_DIR:

LYCIA_DIR = C:\Program Files\Querix\Lycia

LYCIA_DIR = /opt/Querix/Lycia

The name of the Program Files folder may depend on the architecture of the Lycia executable or Windows OS architecture and locale.

All the file and directory names you use in your 4gl development must be platform-independent.

If you use platform-dependent names (e.g., combine upper and lower case, use colons, finish names with a full stop, etc.), please remember that they might cause different problems when you move your project to another platform.

LYCIA_DIR applies both at compilation and at runtime, so it can be set in inet.env, in env.properties, and in environ.bat (if you use command line tools).
