How to execute Erlang program in Scite in Windows?

I installed Erlang on my PC. Then added the path C:\Program Files (x86)\erl5.8.4\bin to my Environment Variables -> PATH so I can run erl.exe from CMD

And now when the the code is typed in Scite neither of the buttons compile / build / go in TOOLS menu are active.

How am I supposed to run my program? Should I change something in erlang.properties

Solution

  • Yes to the last question... If you look at some other .properties file, you will find some examples of these commands. For example, for Scala, I made the following commands:

    scala.compilation.options=-d bin -deprecation -Xmigration -Xcheckinit
scala.run.options=-cp bin -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8
command.compile.*.scala=fsc.bat $(scala.compilation.options) $(FileNameExt)
command.build.*.scala=fsc.bat $(scala.compilation.options) *.scala
command.go.*.scala=scala.bat $(scala.run.options) $(FileName)

    It shows you can define your own variables and use them in the command lines. Just replace scala with erlang, fsc.bat or scala.bat with erl.exe or other bin (if compilation differs from running), and adapt the rest of the lines.
