Title: Codeblocks execution can't find image file
Post by: Zeron on December 12, 2015, 05:14:41 pm

I am new to codeblocks and to c programming. I'm trying to write a simple program that loads an image. The code copiles without errors and I am able to execute it manually from the konsole without problems, but when I try to run the code from within IDE it can't find the image file. Why is that? What am I doing wrong?

I'd guess that the working directory is different between running in CB as opposed to running stand-alone.

Check Project->properties->BuildTargets->ExecutionWorkingDir.

Ah, I see it. The field contains only a dot: "." -- both in "Release" and in "Debug" targets. As I understand it it simply means current directory. But is it the dir of the project or of the executable? Should I change it?

The directory of the CB project file.
