Search paths

============

4
 
To attempt to emulate the search path facility of the C preprocessor,
5
 
Inform is compiled with some built-in search paths.  For include files,
6
 
this is (in order of searching):
7
 
 
8
 
    .                           current directory
9
 
    PKGDATA/include             local include directory
10
 
    PKGDATA/lib                 local library directory
11
 
    PKGDATA/VERSION/include     system include directory
12
 
    PKGDATA/VERSION/lib         system library directory
13
 
 
14
 
where PKGDATA is the package data prefix (default: /usr/local/share/inform)
15
 
and VERSION is the Inform version.  For modules, the search path is:
16
 
 
17
 
    .                           current directory
18
 
    PKGDATA/lib                 local library directory
19
 
    PKGDATA/VERSION/lib         system library directory
20
 
 
21
 
This is as if Inform has been given the +include_file and +module_file
22
 
arguments with the comma-separated lists of directories shown above.
23
 
However, note that explicitly giving one of these arguments to Inform will
24
 
override the default setting, not prepend to it, as with the C
25
 
preprocessor.
