[maker-devel] change program locations in maker_exe

[Carson Holt]

MAKER first looks inside of .../maker/exe/ for any executables.  Then it
uses the systems ‘which’ command to identify executables in your PATH
environmental variable.  If MAKER is not finding the one you want, then
you can either put the program in the .../maker/exe/ folder (I.e. create
.../maker/exe/bin/  and then put soft links to the executables you want to
be used first), or you can rearrange the order of paraameters in your PATH
environmental variable so that ‘which <program_name>’ returns the location
you want.  If MAKER is always leaving the locations to those programs
empty, it is because you need to add them to your PATH environmental
variable.

Thanks,
Carson
