Specifying a relative path for executable runtime

Subject: Specifying a relative path for executable runtime

Hi all,

I'm currently moving a cross-platform open-source project over to Xcode and am running into a small problem. When built via a makefile, the project builds executables as command-line tools in a ./bin directory off the project root. Building works fine, but the difficulty comes when the tools are then run _from within Xcode_.

What I need to do is for the runtime working directory to be set to $(SRCROOT)/bin, but the only options offered via XCode are either: project directory (i.e. $(SRCROOT)), build directory, or an absolute path. A relative path works OK, except I want to be able to hand the XCode file to other developers and have them drop it into their existing source code tree wherever they have it on their drive and let them run the executables from within XCode without having to go through each executable and respecify a correct working directory for their machine.

So my question, is there any way to specify a relative path for the working directory of an executable to be run by XCode? If not I'll file a bug. -- Philip Lamb email@hidden _______________________________________________ xcode-users mailing list | email@hidden Help/Unsubscribe/Archives: http://www.lists.apple.com/mailman/listinfo/xcode-users Do not post admin requests to the list.
