Option to specify config.toml path

[vsndev3]

Is it possible to have a command line option to specify config.toml path or a global config that takes a user specified directory as root for all configuration. This way the IRust can be packed and shared as a single self-contained directory (planning rust tool chain + zig for compiler)

There are a couple of places that uses the host system

Also the repls are stored in host temporary directory (and some commands like :dbg uses it)

I'm not sure if there is a compelling enough usecase to warrent to make all those configurable, though its not that big of a change

irust can be already shared as self contained binary but I think you mean a binary that doesn't use the host system, but there is a flatpak build that does this already https://flathub.org/apps/io.github.sigmasd.IRust

Thanks for the response. For me its an embedded environment, so flatpack cannot be used. However please consider something like https://github.com/rust-cli/confy where config can be loaded first from local dir if not load from system specific path. I guess I have to patch my local repo for now.

I see, lets keep this open, either way the code changes shouldn't be that big so I don't have a big problem adding this feature, feel free to open a pr

I prefer to not add a dependencies on confy, this feature is simple enough, it can be coded here

@vsndev3 I added this feature in this branch https://github.com/sigmaSd/IRust/compare/idirs?expand=1

All the paths used by irust are configurable with env variables

If that works for you I can merge this

[vsndev3]

It works perfectly, Thanks

I pushed irust 1.71.22 with this patch
