Want to set the target file name to $home folder.

target file directory -o

$HOME/pepe

After compile it create a $HOME/pepe folder on the same folder of my
project.

I need to make the compiler respect the user home directory between
installations (example on a rm is /home/pi and other linux is
/home/pepe)

Any way to get this working?

TIA

In Lazarus you can probably use the $(Home) macro.

On Mac and Linux, that corresponds to the HOME env. variable, I would
assume.

And on Windows, probably corresponds to the HOMEDRIVE and HOMEPATH
env. variables (I'm guessing).

That works, thanks!

Not sure where/if the master list of macros is in the Project Options
dialog. I always just go to Tools | Configure External Tools and click
Add to see the list, simply because I somehow remember that it's
there.

Lots of useful macros in the list.
