Platform	Mac	OS	OS X	OS Version	10.7-10.9
Product Version	0.34.11
Fixed in Version	0.40.06

Summary	0006394: "df" script does not pass command-line arguments correctly (i.e. for world generation) on OS X/Linux
Description	On OS X: * Running "./df -gen ..." simply opens DF normally (and does not generate a world). * Running "./dwarfort.exe -gen ..." crashes, since the library variables were not set by the "df" script. On Linux, spaces in arguments aren't recognized properly (as mentioned in the 0.34.11 release notes).
Steps To Reproduce	Attempt world generation with a clean install of DF, using the instructions in command_line.txt (replacing "Dwarf Fortress.exe" with the appropriate name). Both "df" and "dwarfort.exe" fail to generate a world.
Additional Information	This can be fixed on OS X and Linux by changing the last line of the script to './dwarfort.exe "$@" ' and './libs/Dwarf_Fortress "$@" ' (respectively)
