Automatically loading some libraries into my cds.lib

Hi,

I am sure there is a file where we can do this.

When I open my virtuoso, we can obviously see the project libaries, but I want to always open a few more libraries automatically that will help my productivity.

Rather than editing my cds.lib each time, is there a file where I can append to the central libraries?

flow of library loading:

1) load all project central libraries

2) load all user specified libraries

3) create final cds.lib that combines #1 and #2.

Thank you

Hi,

You should have a look at the following support articles:

1. Using SKILL, how to get paths of other cds.lib files used in your cds.lib by INCLUDE/SOFTINCLUDE statement? Difference between INCLUDE/SOFTINCLUDE.

2. How to access the libraries defined in a different cds.lib file and how to get the path of the current cds.lib file in use?

Based on this I believe you could achieve this in your .cdsinit or whatever SKILL file is loaded at Virtuoso startup in your setup
You should create two cds.lib, a project one and a user one and include them in a custom one which Virtuoso will load

Here is an example snippet of what you could do (note that I haven't tested it):

(letseq ((path (simplifyFilename "./custom.cds.lib"))
(port (outfile path))
)
(fprintf port "INCLUDE %s\nINCLUDE %S\n" <path_to_project_cds.lib> <path_to_user_cds.lib>)
(close port)
(ddSetForcedLib path)
(ddUpdateLibList)
)

Cheers,

Aurélien
