Tested on Ubuntu, interestingly the default installation did not work (it looked in /usr/local/share/codeblocks, while the file had been installed in /usr/share/codeblocks). However, if you copied all of it over from /usr to /opt/codeblocks - then it found the files in /opt/codeblocks/share/codeblocks just fine, so binreloc seems to be working fine on Linux.

Thomas did a refactoring of configmanager.cpp, that broke the wxMac support I added.
And it featured a reimplementation of the same code that was in app.cpp, so I asked...

afb:
Just for the record here is what I found the default locations to be:

Code::Blocks

* wxMSW:
@executable_path/share/CodeBlocks
@executable_path/share/CodeBlocks/plugins
* wxGTK:
$PREFIX/share/codeblocks
$PREFIX/share/codeblocks/plugins
* wxMac:
CodeBlocks.app/Contents/Resources/share/codeblocks
CodeBlocks.app/Contents/Resources/share/codeblocks/plugins
wxStandardPaths (GetDataDir and GetPluginsDir)

* wxMSW:
@executable_path
@executable_path
* wxGTK:
$PREFIX/share/codeblocks
$PREFIX/lib/codeblocks
* wxMac:
CodeBlocks.app/Contents/SharedSupport
CodeBlocks.app/Contents/PlugIns
Where "@executable_path" is the directory where the .exe is located.

Yes, and yes.

But anyway, I am sick of endlessly justifying every 6 lines of code that I ever wrote. Do whatever you want, and if you think SELFPATH is so much of a better solution then for pity's sake use it...

afb:
Should we add a second function to just get the app prefix ?
The "/usr/local/bin/.." works fine, but looks a bit strange...
