[wpkg-users] Tools Folder Not Working

[Chris Allen]

I'm lost as to how the tools folder is supposed to work.  The documentation
seems to indicate that when using wpkg.js any EXEs in tools would
automatically be available for use in the package definition files, but this
is not the case.

Here's what I've tried:

* First I copied the tool I want to use: nircmdc.exe to tools

* I then edited packages\putty.xml and put a line that calls nircmdc.exe in
it like so
*   <install cmd='nircmdc.exe ...' />*

That didn't work.  Then I tried this:
*   <install cmd='tools\nircmdc.exe ...' />*

Then this:
   *<install cmd='%WPKGROOT%\tools\nircmdc.exe ...' />*

But that doesn't work either.  I thought maybe %WPKGROOT% would
automatically be set in the installers environment, but it's not.  What is
the point of the tools folder?  It seems entirely pointless to me if I have
to set up a system wide WPKGROOT environment variable myself to get to
programs I put in tools.
