Prefix finding code still broken

Switched the Mac code to use the new GetAppPath implemenation, but it still doesn't work...

Seems like it's picking the wrong level and missing a ".." ? Wonder why SELFPATH doesn't ?

afb:
(I would post the real output here, if forum wouldn't barf ?)

But it is looking in /usr/ local/ bin/ share/ codeblocks
Without the spaces of course, had to add those to post...

Have you had a quick glance in src/prefix.cpp? Maybe it's missing a define for Mac or something?

afb:
BINRELOC is only for Linux, so I did my own implementation.
But I have must have missed what it was supposed to return.

i.e. currently I return the path to the application in GetAppPath,
but apparently it is expecting the prefix to be returned instead ?  :o


--- Code: ---    #ifdef APP_PREFIX
        wxString data = wxT(APP_PREFIX); // under linux, get the preprocessor value
    #else
        wxString data = GetAppPath();
    #endif

--- End code ---

Will fix it when I move to the "share/codeblocks" subdirectory.
Just wondered if there was a bug with the other code path too ?

i.e. shouldn't the above instead be: GetAppPath() + _T("/..") ?

afb:
BTW; We will use a "share/codeblocks" dir on Win/Mac too, I think ?
(the nightly build for Windows seem to use share/CodeBlocks, but...)

Rather than the "standard" system path (from wxStandardPathsBase):

--- Code: ---    // return the location of the applications global, i.e. not user-specific,
    // data files
    //
    // prefix/share/appname under Unix, c:\Program Files\appname under Windows,
    // appname.app/Contents/SharedSupport app bundle directory under Mac
    virtual wxString GetDataDir() const = 0;

--- End code ---
Which doesn't even look to be all that correct for Windows and Mac OS X.
(SharedSupport is supposed to contain examples and templates and such)

so it will look in: CodeBlocks.app/Contents/Resources/share/codeblocks dir,
and if that doesn't exist it will look in $PREFIX/share/codeblocks like above.
