Re: Bakefile Working Directory

Doug,

Sorry it took so long to get around to reading your post.  Busy week.

Anyway.  Let me take a stab at what you want..

Do you want to execute the file from the IDE in a target directory different
from the executables location?

Is that it?

I gather your current process is this:
 - get source
 - bake
 - open project
 - change target directory

Yes?

FYI the 2005 project files are text.  Thus you can diff a before and after
to see what variables need to be set/changed...
