Allow running script from any directory #28

Closed txtsd closed 1 year ago

txtsd commented 8 years ago

distro_fixes.sh would not find the Dwarf_Fortress executable if run from any folder other than the one in which the df and dfhack script and distro_fixes.sh was located in. Only ./df and ./dfhack would make it work. With this you can run df and dfhack from any folder level eg: ../../dfhack or herp/derp/df

I can't see why DF_DIR wouldn't be pointing to the actual DF directory - it's defined in df and dfhack, which definitely use it to locate libraries properly.

Should I close this? It's been open for years now :sweat_smile:

Didn't realize there was no activity on this repo for years

https://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/Utility:Lazy_Newb_Pack has a couple newer maintained packs. For what it's worth, I still don't understand why this change was needed, hence my comment above, and further investigation might have helped get it merged.

Thanks for the link and info.

Like the OP says though, I was trying to run df and dfhack from different directories for whatever reason at the time. And it only worked as intended after I made this change. In retrospect, I should've attached the error message. I had only been using Linux full-time for a year when I made this PR, so my Linux-fu in general must've been weak if it works as intended without my change.
