Hi
so I was trying those first trivial changes to move from PackedString to String, but one of the tests failed. I wanted to look at exactly what happened, so I tried running YHC directly but I got yhc: /home/wchogg/yhc/inst/bin/lib/yhc/packages: getDirectoryContents: does not exist (No such file or directory) as an error, which I presume is because I hadn't set YHC_PACKAGE_PATH.
You can either set YHC_BASE_PATH to something so that "%YHC_BASE_PATH%/bin/yhc" will run Yhc, typically the location of the inst folder if you are running from the source tree. Alternatively, you can add your yhc executable to the Path, and Yhc will find the other bits automatically.
Ah, okay. That's simple enough to fix.
Except that all it says on the wiki about where to point it is that there
should be an example. So what exactly do I need to do?
I can't even find this on the wiki! Can you point me at the exact wiki page, then I'll fix it.
