Cannot start dethrace from terminal (Windows) about dethrace HOT 4 OPEN

In src/harness/harness.c around line 182 after

    char* root_dir = getenv("DETHRACE_ROOT_DIR");
    if (root_dir != NULL) {
        LOG_INFO("DETHRACE_ROOT_DIR is set to '%s'", root_dir);
    } else {
        root_dir = OS_Dirname(argv[0]);
    }

I had to add this for macOS app bundle and Windows console support

    char* root_dir = getenv("DETHRACE_ROOT_DIR");
    if (root_dir != NULL) {
        LOG_INFO("DETHRACE_ROOT_DIR is set to '%s'", root_dir);
    } else {
        root_dir = OS_Dirname(argv[0]);
#ifdef __APPLE__
        strcat (root_dir, "/../Resources"); // Pierre-Marie Baty -- macOS .app fix
#endif /* __APPLE__ */
        if (root_dir[0] == 0)
            strcpy(root_dir, "."); // Pierre-Marie Baty -- consistency check (also Win32 fix)
    }

Basically calling chdir("") on Win32 raises an errno (which looks legit to me, what's intriguing here is that it swallows it on POSIX platforms).

The original issue is about Macos finder running applications from / instead of the directory containing the executable.

You're using a "macosx bundle", which our cmake script does not support at all.
Somebody with an app should modify cmake + sources to add that.
CMake has MACOSX_BUNDLE.

A complication with macosx bundles is that for legal reasons, we cannot bundle game resources with an app bundle.

No need to say sorry.
If somebody with a mac and knowledge of CMake comes along, (s)he's free to add this support.
