flattests.exe fails under Win8.1 with mingw about flatbuffers HOT 3 CLOSED

Notice that failed test is trying to load a file. If you run flattests.exe from the root of the flatbuffers distribution (the parent of tests), all should work. I am not sure how under mingw the exe ended up in tests?

from flatbuffers.

Ahhhh okay. Thanks, that did it. I usually put the makefiles into the build directory (with CMake) unless instructed to do otherwise. And so I had no clue where to put it.

And how to use the sample binaries and in which directory do they go?

from flatbuffers.

You can either put the sample binaries in the root of the FlatBuffers distribution, or you can make sure you run with the root as current directory, and then run the binaries from where ever they ended up, e.g. build\somewhere\flattests.exe

from flatbuffers.
