I just downloaded and installed FC5. I downloaded, built and installed
two
apps, PCB and XCircuit. All went well. But neither of the apps
installed
an
icon on the Gnome desktop or in the menu bar.
To run the PCB program manually I open a terminal window and do:
cd /root/Desktop/PCB/src;./pcbtest.sh
That works.
Then I right click on the desktop.
- Create launcher.
Name: PCB_Test
Command: cd /root/Desktop/PCB/src;./pcbtest.sh
Type: Application
and click OK.
When I double click on the launcher I get an error dialog:
There was an error launching the application
Details: Failed to execute the child process
"cd" no such file or directory
I cut and pasted the command right out of the terminal window so
I know
it
works.
What kind of magic do I need to wrap around my command to get it
to
launch
the script?
********
try:
put cd /root/Desktop/PCB/src into the pcbtest.sh script,
then change the launcher to
Command: /root/Desktop/PCB/src/pcbtest.sh
