is there something like [ggee/getdir] but for getting the path of the currently running Pd binary?
Seems like I saw this somewhere, but I can't remember where.
I'll add it to [pdinfo]
Hm... there's a function pd_getdirname listed in m_pd.h, but it's a mirage because the function isn't defined anywhere.
What's the story?
Ok, I figured out how to do this, but:
- Why do you need the directory of the pd binary? Finding the
directory of a running executable is tricky-- I can set it up for Windows and most Linuxes but there might be a distro where it wouldn't work, or a new OS that needs yet another trick to find it. I guess this is why pd_getdirname doesn't actually get defined anywhere...
Getting the current working directory is pretty straightforward, though I don't know if that's useful.
