Fullpath or execution dir on widows/linux/mac[SOLVED]

[Hiura]

folder where the application is started

The working directory ??


To remove the last part of the string, see my previous answer.

For Linux-only code, you can use dirname.

Solved it with:

#ifdef __linux
#include <unistd.h>

std::string getexepath()
  {
  char result[ PATH_MAX ];
  ssize_t count = readlink( "/proc/self/exe", result, PATH_MAX );
  return std::string( result, (count > 0) ? count : 0 );
  }
std::string DirName(std::string source)
{
    source.erase(std::find(source.rbegin(), source.rend(), '/').base(), source.end());
    return source;
}
#endif
 

call it from main();

std::string;
asd = getexepath();
asd = DirName(asd);
 

So string asd now have path to executable without executable name
so sf::Texture texture have become:

sf::Texture texture;
if (!texture.loadFromFile(asd + "Data/again/cb.bmp"))
{
    return 1;
}
 

And it works. Thank you for your help guys. Will work on windows and mac version of #define and will post code here, so if somebody needs it can use it

Good to know! I thought it was only available as a shell command.. I should probably update the resourcePath function to use it. :-)
