If I wish to link against some external libraries, outside of the normal library search path, in a project with multiple developers, it would be nice to be able to use EnvVars.

Like, -I$SSL/ to point to where openssl is on your OS.

However, it does not appear to expand $SSL. Is this definitely the case?

Yes, sorry. Something we have not ever considered. But I guess, it should be fixed. Thanks for the tip Wink

BTW, normal arrangment is to put include paths (or library paths) to your build method - that way compilation will not depend on existence of environment variable. In other words, idea is that build method should serve as an interface between your code and the platform (including the compiler).
