When you run the program in the debugger, you need to set the current working directory, in the project debug settings.
It works when compiled, but not in debugging mode (stepping trough) where it return false. Checking argv0 is ok and absolute paths are working both ways.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
