Forum Topic - Sharing projects using the 4.6 IDE: (2 Items)
   
Sharing projects using the 4.6 IDE  
It has been brought to my attention that under the 4.6 IDE, when you import a BSP and check its project properties, the 
Search Paths use absolute references to the project location? Instead of using paths relative to the workspace. This 
apparently prevents sharing projects among team members (absolute references conflict). Under the 4.5 IDE the search 
paths were relative, allowing sharing a project file between team mates.

Is this a "bug" or expected behavior because of the new way to import and build BSPs under 4.6?

Thanks
RE: Sharing projects using the 4.6 IDE  
There was not a requirement to support sharing System Builder project.
However I agree that we should use relative path references. Please file
a PR for a change request.

Thanks,
Andy
