build path for external libraries erlide


I am working on an erlang application using couchbeam. I am new in erlang and it would be easier for me to work in erlide.

I have used eclipse in java and It was easy to add external libraries. I tried to find out how to build path for those external libraries in erlide but I did not find any solution. when I looked at the asked questions, I found out that the Erlang: add libraries to application should be smilar to my question but I did not understand how it has been done because it is different from how we did while adding external jar files for example!

If no solution I would ask if there is any one who can help me fix the same question in Emacs

Regards


Solution

  • I'd highly recommend using basho's rebar to compile Erlang projects, it's like ant or maven for Java and more or less an industry standard in Erlang world. It allows to easily manage all kind of dependencies and compile/release projects.

    Also I'd recommend to check out SublimErl as an alternative to Erlide. Much more lightweight and comfortable.

    Good luck!
