[AD] get_executable_name in unix

[ Thread Index | Date Index | More lists.liballeg.org/allegro-developers Archives ]


Hi,

I changed the _xwin_sysdrv_get_executable_name to lookup in the PATH
environment instead of using argv[0] only. That's needed since a program
could be called from command line without the full path, so the exe file
would be in an different directory and not in the current as assumed by
using argv[0] for opening the binary file.

I also changed "X-Windows" info-string to "X Window System" which is the
official name of that.

Greetings,
Eduard.

The feature you'd like to have is probably already installed on your
