Cross-platform way to change working program directory...

tmason101

Hello,

I have the following code which changes the working directory of the program to where the program is located. I do this so that my application can correctly find all necessary resources needed to run.

My question is, what is the cross-platform way to do this in Qt?

Thank you for your time.

This is in the int main() function:

@
/*

Change current directory of program to where executable is.

*/

std::string ProgramPath(argv[0]);
std::string WorkingDirectory;

size_t found;
found = ProgramPath.find_last_of("/\\");
WorkingDirectory = ProgramPath.substr(0, found);

#if defined(_WIN32)

_chdir(WorkingDirectory.c_str());

#endif

#if defined(gnu_linux)

chdir(WorkingDirectory.c_str());

#endif

/*

End change of working directory.

*/
