.exe not running outside codeblocks

[darpan1118]

Hello friends,
I have created a game.It is working fine in codeblocks, but when I am trying to run it outside codeblocks, it opens and closes immediately. I have pasted all the necessary files and dlls in root folder and debug folder. Here is the code:-

#include <iostream>
#include <SDL/SDL_mixer.h>

All *.bmp, *.ttf and *.wav must be in the same directory as the EXE.

The alternative solution to what modoran posted is to not use relative directories.

This happens by the way because when you run your code through Code::Blocks it uses the location of the ".cbp" project file as it's starting directory by default. You can change this behavior on a per project basis but it is usually easier to keep track of things using one of the other two solutions.
