#186 DEV-CPP 4.9.8.3 vs. PATH environment

[Anonymous]

DEV-CPP 4.9.8.3
Win2000 SP4

I've defined some compiler sets.
Dev-Cpp sets PATH in environment according to
<MainMenu/Tools/Compiler Options/Directories tag>

After DEV-CPP launch PATH is set for last selected
compiler set.

BUGS:
1. When compiler set is change DEV-CPP leaves old
directories in PATH.
2. Directories are repeated in PATH.
3. Compiler set selected in <Project Options> doesn't
change PATH.

I think that PATH should (have to) be set according to
compiler set
selected in opened project.

I haven't checked for PATH, but I got two different compiler
sets (the default one and a GCC 3.3.1 MinGW one) and it
works fine with switching them on the fly and doing compiles
with those two different compiler sets. I might have a more
specific at it look in the next days.
