Re: [glob2-devel] Globulation for OSX binary (and build patch)

[Ethan Tira-Thompson]

I've updated the binary at:
http://ethan.tira-thompson.com/stuff/Globulation-0.9.1.dmg

... the old one had an issue in that it wasn't finding the data  
directory within the bundle — apparently SDL has a "feature" where it  
moves the current working directory up a level to the directory  
containing the bundle (instead of leaving it at the root of the bundle  
itself), which means that the current reference using "./Contents/ 
Resources" doesn't work.

I didn't catch this before because it was loading out of the data in  
the build directory (cute) so it was working until I deleted the build  
stuff... Hopefully this one is actually using the right files!

A patch to fix this is here (and now used in the updated binary):
http://ethan.tira-thompson.com/stuff/Globulation-OSX-workingdir.patch
Which basically makes a few Mac-specific calls right at launch to get  
the bundle path and chdir back to it so everything else works as (I)  
expected.
