Comment (by taos):
Replying to [comment:4 pulkomandy]:
Does our simutrans port already include a patch for this (a typical way
to patch this is adding {{{chdir(dirname(argv[0]))}}} in the main
function)?
I have no idea (there has been a long tradition of beos and/or haiku
specific stuff in the simutrans source code so it might be already
included). However, it still did work a month ago, when I got my patches
for compiling simutrans on PM-haiku upstreamed so that I could remove them
from the haikuports recipe. Is there a recent change in haiku that made it
necessary to include such a patch?
Simutrans usually should look in the home directory for its own folder
with screenshots, savegames, etc. When I last checked if the updated
simutrans recipe still produced a working simutrans package it used to
work even when started from Tracker. Now, it can't even save a game. I'm
not sure if that's because it looks for a directory that's not there (not
very probable, it used to just create its own folder in ~) or if it tries
to write to a directory that's read-only.
