leJOS

[colin]

I want to use TextPad with leJOS [url]http://lejos.sourceforge.net/[/url] which is JAVA that runs on Lego Mindstorms.
How do I make TextPad use the leJOS compiler rather than javac?

I looked around for where TextPad might store Compiler, Run and Applet names and found them in the Registry.
They are at HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Helios/TextPad 4/Tools/1,2 and 3.
Would it be alright to change them to the leJOS compiler? I can't find anyway within TextPad to change them as they are greyed out.

You can always manually add tools for use by TextPad rather than muck about in the registry (and decrease your risk of borking Windows). Configure, Preferences, Tools, Add -> Program. The help file ought to help explain the options.

Thanks for your reply. I have figured out how to add the commands that I need.

LeJOS needs the following command to link:- lejoslink.bat -o HelloWorld.bin HelloWorld
I have put lejoslink.bat in the Command box and -o $BaseName&.bin $Basename in the Parameters box but it doesn't work. How do I concatenate $BaseName with .bin ?

Er... $BaseName.bin .

I hadn't tried the obvious
Thanks
