requiring a file on windows

[thro...@gmail.com]

I can't seem to build paths the way require wants them on windows.

I must be missing something basic.

Tried a bunch of things (can't remember them all), here's the last:

(Racket versions  8.0.0.4--2021-02-01 and 7.8)

(define wrk_dir #"C:/Temporary/zDEL3/TEST_BATCH/")
(require(file(bytes->string/utf-8(bytes-append wrk_dir #"vend_map.rkt"))))

. file: ill-formed module path in: (file (bytes->string/utf-8 (bytes-append wrk_dir #"vend_map.rkt")))

In order to allow static compilation, the path in a (file …) require must be a literal string.

It sounds like you might be looking for “dynamic-require” ?

Apologies if I’m misunderstanding you.

Thanks John.

I somehow mis-remembered  that  this had worked on Linux before

and became convinced there was a windows issue.

sigh ... my memory errors got  the best of me again.
