path for icon

2012-09-04 Thread Rudra Banerjee 
Dear friends,
in my GTK(3) app, I am using icons as
 gtk_window_set_icon(GTK_WINDOW(window),
create_pixbuf("images/icon.svg"));
or 
GtkWidget *ast4im = gtk_image_new_from_file ("images/mkb3.png");

The problem is, when I am running the app away from the source
directory, those images are broken, obviously due to the fact that the
path is missing. One solution is to put absolute path, but then the code
will not be portable.

Is there any better way of doing it?

As a matter of fact, I just asked this very same question this past Sunday.

Depending on your needs, here is a different answer:

I myself  went with the first solution.

A third answer is to define a string that is your path:

#if defined( WINDOWS )
#define ICON_PATH "../images/"
#else
#define ICON_PATH "/foo/bar/images/"
#endif

foo()
{
gtk_image_new_from_file( ICON_PATH "mkb3.png" );
}
