Hi all,
How do I get a run-time path in the executable created by 'raco distrib',
that is the same, relative to the directory containing the source racket
code and the executable created by 'raco exe'?
When I execute the following code (modified from the documentation), I
observe that the directory for the data file for the executable generated
by 'raco distrib':
read-data:
data-file:"...\test-path\test-distrib\.\lib\plt\test-path\exts\ert\...\test-path\data.txt"
is very different from the directory used by both the source module and the
executable generated by 'raco exe':
read-data: data-file:"...\test-path\data.txt".
How do I make the ".\lib\plt\test-path\exts\ert\...\test-path\" go away and
have the data file be packaged in the same directory as the executable?
I need the program to access a data file that I expect an end-user to
modify, and the additional subdirs between where the program and data file
are a bit of a problem. Perhaps I should be using some other approach?
Thanks in advanced for any advice.
Cheers,
Kieron.
