How to set the header file for a new compiler configuration

[rjpontefract]

Hi

I'm running VS2017 and the VS2018 beta on MacOS X and I'm having problems setting the header file for a new compiler.  I'm trying to add GNU C++ 8 installed in /usr/local by homebrew and I am unable to set the header file to:

/Applications/SlickEditPro2017.app/Contents/plugins/com_slickedit.base.zip/com_slickedit.base/sysconfig/vsparser/g++-macos.h

Which I copied and modified from the Clang configuration.  I checked the zip file and g++-macos.h does exist in that file.  When I click OK on the dialog, no errors are raised, but when I go back to edit the compiler configuration, I find that the header file has been truncated to:

/Applications/SlickEditPro2017.app/Contents/

Am I doing this wrong, or should I be able to use the g++-macos.h file in the zip as the header file?

I get the same result in VS2018 (using the path to SlickEditPro2018.app).

Cheers
Rick

The header file is only used by the old C++ refactoring, which will not work with GNU C++ 8, so you could just leave it blank.

I'll look into the path issue.

The path editing problem will be fixed in the next beta for v23.

Thanks for the information and it's good to hear a fix is on the way for the path problem.
