Summary
Build "Allow build and run in repo folder in CMake"
Purpose of change
When compiling a
-O2
build,DATA_DIR_PREFIX
macro is defined in CMake build script and there is no way to configure this behaviour. It makes running the game in repo impossible, because C++ code sets internal prefix path to<base_path>/share/cataclysm-dda
when the macro is defined, and only a few sub directories can be manually override via launch parameters.Describe the solution
Add
USE_PREFIX_DATA_DIR
CMake option defaults to true that controls the behaviour of definingDATA_DIR_PREFIX
macro inRelease
