Can't load an image file by using relative filename.

[indigo0086]

Basically I have a GLFW project that loads an image file that is in the base directory (the one where the project is located) but in order for me to do It I can't just can't load it by the filename, I have to put the entire path to the filename.
Example.

Code Select Expand

rustWall.Load("RustyWall.tga");

does not work but

Code Select Expand

rustWall.Load("Z:\\Cpp\\OpenGL Examples\\GLFW Project\\RustyWall.tga");

does.

I have other example programs that use the base directory properly but this one does not.  It's been like this for several revisions of codeblocks nightly.

Check your executable target's "Execution working dir" in your build target properties -- if you want it to be the same directory as the project file, just use ".". (Note: This only applies when running your program from within C::B.)

Ok I got it, now how do I set it to be that way default?

I don't understand your question...

The GLFW projects don't have "." as the default "execution working dir".  How do I set it so that it is in future projects?

That's a setting in the wizard. Next time you run the wizard, in the build targets page (debug/release), update the working dirs there and C::B will remember the from then on...

It only has "output directory" and "object output directory"
