Path variables

Last modified: 08 October 2024

To avoid complications when moving projects from one computer to another, MPS provides path variables (a path variable is a variable whose value is an absolute path to a directory or file).

Path variables are particularly useful when working with third-party libraries stored outside the project directory.

In brief, using path variables is reasonable under the following set of conditions:

  • There are third-party libraries in your project defined at the project level.

  • These libraries are stored outside the project content root.

  • There is a need to work with the project on more than one computer (for example, share the project among the development team members through version control).
