Hi, just tried the latest release download but it seems the paths it looks in are messed up?

It seems to be looking two folders backwards. Example, I have it here:

/home/liam/Downloads/cdogs/bin/cdogs-sdl

But it looks for the data folders/files in:

/home/liam/Downloads/

Instead of:

/home/liam/Downloads/cdogs/

Is there anywhere in a config file where I can adjust where it's looking for them?

Edit: Okay, odd. I ran it in terminal, first doing cd into the "data" folder and then ran the executable and it works. Heh. Ideally though, the pathing needs sorting properly and an easy way to change it through a config file would be great!

How did you install the game? Via a repo or from the direct download? And did you run bin/cdogs-sdl directly, or via a shortcut, or from another path?

I just cloned from repo and built it using make.sh. Running src/cdogs-sdl from the root of the repo clone fails:

I see, got it. You can also run it from the src/ folder because the data directory is relative by default - you can change it via the CDOGS_DATA_DIR cmake parameter. This shouldn't be a problem for distributions, as these are set to OS-appropriate values, or via the shortcuts created by installers.
