I have a disk formatted in ext3 which is totally accessible from both Windows and Linux. I have all my code on that drive. Many of the apps out there are to run on both Linux and Windows. So I like the idea of this program a lot. I'd love to be able to use the exact same project/package/nesting/assembly setup in both environments. That would really be cool. I'm not sure but I think only one thing is in the way: Paths to the package files. So with that,
theIDE:
In the .upp files (or wherever else) store relative paths from the package location to the files. The .wap file is located in an OS dependent location so it can point to the assemblies in the OS native way. But within those file, use relative pathing.
I am a little bit puzzled, because this was one of main desing goal f the while package system. Just like you, I have FAT32 partition to store the sources which is accessible both from Linux and Win32 and I have zero problems with paths.
The key of course is to store all files into packages. System of assemblies then defines real paths.
Well, sometimes people mess things up by using "Add any file" to insert files into package - this stores the whole path, which is wrong in 99% cases... Maybe we should add that "Expert" option really soon
