@SmallJoker is the person to talk to - sounds quite easy to resolve through editing the line.
Weird how it's only there, not in main.cpp.

I replaced chdir to _chdir and got more than 30 errors :)
I'm sorry, I do not understand in C ++.

Answer 3 · 2015-12-13T07:07:13.000Z

It seems _chdir is just a MSVC thing.
That code should really use --config instead though, and fork/execve instead of system (otherwise you have to implement shell escaping for all platforms and you waste resources with an extra shell).
EDIT: it apparently doesn't even use quotes, so paths with spaces in them will have issues.

I can not reproduce this bug because in MSVC 2010 I don't get any error or warning about this function.

Answer 5 · 2015-12-13T09:05:18.000Z

Your build not working on Win10:)
VC10 is very old

Answer 6 · 2015-12-13T09:06:53.000Z

I replaced the chdir function with _chdir and it worked perfectly as before. Could you post an error log after doing that change?

EDIT: getcwd is deprecated too. A change to _getcwd should solve it aswell.

Have you included the mediamanager.cpp or whatever in your list of cpp files to build?

Answer 9 · 2015-12-22T20:03:46.000Z

Oops, i add all files and see this:

Answer 11: Most likely you’ve created the wrong type of project. Make sure you’re creating a Win32 Console Application, not a Win32 Project.

Does it change anything when you change that in the by-cmake-generated project?

@MoNTE48 It looks like you are compiling with sdl endabled /sdl+

(sorry for localization)
compile with /sdl- or create a new project where the check box sdl is disabled should work for you.

If you only compile for yourself you can safely disable it. If you want to deploy and share your .exe with other people I would recommend you (or someone else) fix the errors and compile with /sdl+

fork/execve instead of system

WIP PR, need reviewing (not sure if it's okay) #81

That code should really use --config instead though

What do you mean? To find the world path? Is that even a setting?

Answer 13 · 2016-02-24T21:06:25.000Z

If you use the dev branch, does this problem persist?
