Small trouble with projectGenerator on Linux

Hi all,

Just wanted to report this. I'm on Ubuntu 14.04.3, and tried building this:

$ (cd openFrameworks/; git log -1 --decorate)

So, after compiling openFrameworks via compileOF.sh, I tried building projectGenerator via compilePG.sh (both in openFrameworks/scripts/linux/). Both ran succesfully, but at the end of compilePG.sh, the executable openFrameworks/apps/projectGenerator/projectGeneratorSimple/bin/projectGeneratorSimple gets copied to openFrameworks/projectGenerator/projectGenerator.

So, if I just run the .../bin/projectGeneratorSimple, then everything works fine.

However, if I run the openFrameworks/projectGenerator/projectGenerator - even if it is the same executable - it fails to find addons, etc.

I was poking in this a bit, and I think the reason is that in both executables, the same settings file is used; in particular:

$ grep appTo openFrameworks/apps/projectGenerator/projectGeneratorSimple/bin/data/settings/projectGeneratorSettings.xml 
<appToRoot>../../../../</appToRoot>
$ grep appTo openFrameworks/projectGenerator/data/settings/projectGeneratorSettings.xml 
<appToRoot>../../../../</appToRoot>

I think, four levels up ../../../../ should correctly bring us up to the openFrameworks root, if the executable is in openFrameworks/apps/projectGenerator/projectGeneratorSimple/bin/projectGeneratorSimple, but not if it is in openFrameworks/projectGenerator/projectGenerator.

Anyways, just wanted to report this,
Cheers!
