Classpath for java program files

[hostel]

Hi,

i set the classpath what ever required and my java program is running fine .
i have installed jdk in C:\ , am saving my files in D:\
while compling in command prompt i have to go to that directory and then compile and run
what i want is to run the program from any Directory path(ie either from C: or D:) in command prompt , is it possible?

if yes , how ?


Thanks

What did you set your classpath to be?
What error do you get when you try to compile your files in D?

C:\j2sdk\bin
i store my java files in D:\java
when i go to that directory ie D:\java i can compile and run with no problem

but when i compile from C:\ i get error that "file could not be found" (which is true)

so wat to do.

The Java compiler compiles Java source files so you have to tell it exactly where
those source files are. Maybe your filing system has the feature of (symbolic)
links so you don't need to type that much. For .class files there's the CLASSPATH
variiable setting available, but those files were compiled already.

There's one flag avaiable: -sourcepath, but it doesn't consider it a path to the file
you explicitly want to compile; it just works when the compiler finds a .class file
that happens to be out of date so it can recompile that file for you.

kind regards,
