     1 GT 0063 Emulation Enhancements
       
     2 
       
     3 1. EPOCROOT check in E32env.PM
       
     4 
       
     5 Changed from static data to an active BEGIN{} section which tests the EPOCROOT
       
     6 environment variable and constructs the rest of the E32env::Data hash accordingly.
       
     7 
       
     8 EPOCROOT checking is:
       
     9 
       
    10  - environment variable must exist
       
    11  - EPOCROOT must begin with \
       
    12  - EPOCROOT must specify an existing directory
       
    13 
       
    14 Most clients are expected to use $E32Env::Data{EPOCPath} as the raw "epoc32" directory.
       
    15 
       
    16 
       
    17 2. Path_MakeEAbs in PATHUTL.PM
       
    18 
       
    19 Variant of Path_MakeAbs.
       
    20 Path_MakeEAbs takes (EPOCPath, BasePath, ...) and makes the list of directories into 
       
    21 absolute paths relative to BasePath. The extra functionality is that paths beginning
       
    22 
       
    23 	+\...
       
    24 
       
    25 are treated as paths relative to EPOCPath rather than BasePath. 
       
    26 
       
    27 As a regression change, this change also extends to paths which begin \epoc32\, which 
       
    28 copes with the large number of existing absolute \epoc32 paths (e.g. SYSTEMINCLUDE 
       
    29 statements in MMP files). 
       
    30 
       
    31 Path_MakeEAbs is used in MMP.PM to handle SYSTEMINCLUDE, DEFFILE and USERINCLUDE
       
    32 statements, and in BLDMAKE.PL to handle PRJ_EXPORTS and PRJ_TESTEXPORTS.
