Description
Running nob without .exe file extension fails.
w:\musializer>nob build
[INFO] renaming nob -> nob.old
[ERROR] could not rename nob to nob.old: 2
The application takes its name from argv[0] which is nob and tries to rename a file name nob that does not exist. (Hint: The file name is nob.exe)
The build system should append the appropriate file extension to support being called without .exe.
One way to achieve this functionality would be:
char pathbuf[MAX_PATH];
GetModuleFileNameA(NULL, pathbuf, MAX_PATH);
To retrieve the binary path instead of using argv[0].
I think one should consider what should happen when the executable is called with a relative path.
w:\musializer>cd build
w:\musializer\build>..\nob.exe
[ERROR] Could not open file nob.c: 2
I think the build system could assume that nob.exe and nob.c are always in the same directory. To support calling the build system from a different working directory, the directory the binary lives in should be prepended to the file name of the source file to generate the full source file path.
