Yay. For a minute I thought it was another manifestation of the stack 
woes, what with the broken/not broken behavior.

povconsole64-9cf8a79.exe fails.
povconsole64-63e9b8ad.exe works. (The 2017-02-22 location of 
origin/release/v3.7.1)

Oh wait. I meant "../../" works. Re-reading before pressing send, I see 
you meant specifically "./" .  Let me re-check...

Yes, "./" works on 9cf8a79 on povconsole64.  I'm not sure what I was 
looking at the other day.  "./" also works inside of your built povwin 
beta.3 .
I could have sworn I saw it fail there.  I blame pebkac.

Nah, "3 files"  ttfail.ini, ttfail.pov, and ../../subdir/include.inc
(I thought maybe 'down 2 and up 1')
I also tried it with a .ttf .

I was shocked it worked. I thought I was going to have to do the "start 
with the whole project and prune away everything" thing again.

"only" is a strong word.

My preferred geek workflow is to develop on Windows and deploy on Linux.
I can run eclipse (povclipse, c++) on Ubuntu, but under the cygwin/x 
server, it looks poopy. (kbreakout looks/plays great, though ;) )


I just tried it on Linux.  "./" and "../../" work on beta.3 .
