[Geany-Users] running cmd from build

[Lex Trotman]

What directory is 'pythonbuild.py' located in and what was the working
directory when you ran the CLI command?

If your command is 'python pythonbuild.py
dev/Arduino/sample/sample.ino' then it must be executed in the
directory that contains 'pythonbuild.py' since the path is given
relative to the working directory (and so is
'dev/Arduino/sample/sample.ino' but we havn't gotten to it yet :).

Geany commands (by default) run with a working directory that is the
directory of the current file displayed in the edit area, you can
change this in the "working directory" column of the "set build
commands" dialog to make it a fixed location such as the directory
where 'pythonbuild.py' lives.

Cheers
Lex
