VCrayApp FAILCODE6: RAYLIB NOT FOUND WHERE EXPECTED

nfoTools	dev>D211101>f>FAIL6	index.html 0.0.5 2023-07-14
	Work-in-Progress
This Version	since VCrayApp 0.1.0	D211101e

Typical Causes

• The initial attempt to populate the VCrayApp cache\ with raylib components fails because a nearby raylib\ directory is set up incorrectly or not at all.
• When there have previously been successful cache creations, subsequent updates or modifications to raylib or VCrayApp.bat are defective.
• When there has not been a successful first run yet, there are some likely suspects.
  • raylib has not been setup at the same level as the project folder (e.g., at VCrayDemo\raylib\ and reachable from VCrayDemo\demo\).
  • extraction of a raylib source release such as raylib-4.5.0.zip intoraylib\ is incorrect.

Confirmation of raylib\ Setup

In a command prompt, navigate to the project folder, the one that is the extracted and renamed VCrayApp-*semver*.zip. From that location, perform

cd ..
tree raylib

The beginning of the tree-command output should be similar to this.

At the end of the command output, the raylib\src folder structure should appear.

If this is unsuccessful, please review VCrayApp Setup and redo the setup carefully.

Background

FAILCODE6 signifies that a released source-code version of raylib, in a folder named raylib\ is not positioned properly on the same drive and level as the unzipped VCrayApp project.

The determination is that raylib\src\raylib.h does not exist using the location described in the diagnostic message.

NOTE: If a clone of the raylib Github repository is used, the folder holding the clone must be named raylib no matter what the clone is named.
