coqide - can't load modules from same folder

Question

I can\'t load modules that are in same folder in CoqIde.

I\'m trying to load sources from Software Foundations, I\'m running coqide in folder that contains SF source

Answer 1

I realize this is an old thread, however there are not many resources on this problem. I just spent some time solving it so I figured it would be good to post it on the first topic I got from googling. I'm using Coq 8.4p16 compiled with no additional configuration on Arch Linux.

So, the manual says variables like $COQPATH, ${XDG_DATA_DIRS}/coq/ and ${XDG_DATA_HOME}/coq/ are checked, however I've had no luck with those.

I also tried putting coqc -I /folder/path the Edit->Preferences->Externals of CoqIde, however, still no luck there.

I write these as they may work for someone.

The only GLOBAL way which works for me is writing a coqrc file with Add LoadPath "". in it. On Linux the file needs to be in the home folder.

Hope this saves someone some time.
