Re: how is envPaths built?

Hello Ralph

How can I provide a custom IOC application template and have makeBaseApp identify it?

Best Regards,

Abdalla.

Depends on your mail application. For me, "Reply all" works.

I don't know perl but it seems it gets the name from the directory and the directory itself is created from another mechanism from makeBaseApp?

I tried changing the directory name and recompiling and it really changes the IOC variable name in envPaths. I'm not sure where is the part of makeBaseApp that creates the directory though.

The makeBaseApp script is blowing up templates. Add a template application with a different structure or files or names, and makeBaseApp will happily create application instances from it.
