SYNIMPDIR

Directories to search for import files and prototypes

WSupported on Windows

The SYNIMPDIR environment variable specifies the directories to search for files that contain namespaces in IMPORT statements and when checking prototypes.

One or more directory paths, separated by a comma. For performance reasons, do not specify a location that’s on a network share.

When importing namespaces, all specified directories are searched in order of their appearance within the SYNIMPDIR environment variable. This list is searched after any directories specified by the -qimpdir=import_dir compiler option.

Prototype (.dbp) files located in directories specified by SYNIMPDIR will be used for prototype checking when you compile.

Important

Traditional projects in Visual Studio ignore SYNIMPDIR and use only the -qimpdir compiler option.
