IrrXMLReader and Unix paths

[Wako]

I used the tutorial on irrXML's website:

Code: Select all

IrrXMLReader* xml = createIrrXMLReader("../../../config/preferences.xml");

When I compile and test in XCode, the Working directory is where the executable is, and thus this line worked. However, when I run the .app, the Working Directory is set to "/", and I believe that cerateIrrXMLReader doesn't automatically use the relative path (unlike getTexture).

My question is, how do I use the XML reader using relative paths? I want to create the Driver after, because the XML will contain the screen resolution, color depth, etc.

Thanks

You can get the path to the executable from the first argument passed to your main function-

Code: Select all

int main(int argc, char **argv)

argv[0] will contain the full path to your .app, so you can strip the app name off and set the working directory before opening the xml
