| [A44] Getting current Directory with allegro |

Does allegro offers a cross platform way to get the current directory? I found getcwd, but apparently, it's not cross platform. I found this thread that tried to do so: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2868680/what-is-a-cross-platform-way-to-get-the-current-directory Not sure if it really works. Enjoy! and have fun |

getcwd is extremely cross-platform. I know only two mostly-POSIX compilers that don't implement it: |

Oh! so it's more compiler dependent than platform dependent? So I could use getcwd if I compile a windows app with gcc, but not msvc? Enjoy! and have fun |

Yep. Write your code on Mingw-gcc, and almost everything will work on other systems. |

It's more dependent on the runtime libc library. msvcrt is missing a lot of things, and some are there, but have an underscore prepended. It's pretty much just to make porting programs harder. -- |

Audric said: Microsoft compilers getcwd does seem to be implemented and actually works at least in my visual studio 2012. The header for it is direct.h. |

When you don't use VS getcwd doesn't need direct.h. Maybe it derives from winallegro. But I can't tell for sure. |
