Well, this would probably best fit into a Linux help forum than PO's Help, but I've been trying it for a while with a lot of applications downloaded in a similar fashion to PO and no threads helped me so far in my quest. The thing is, I'm using Mint 14 with KDE and what I want is pretty simple - PO needs to be recognized as an installed application in the system so I can execute it from Kickoff/Lancelot launchers or make shortcuts/taskbar icons with just one click instead of 3-4 separate steps. OK that was probably a dumb question but I hope you guys get it better than the guys in their own OS's forum. Thanks for any help!
If you have the start-client.sh file, make a shortcut on it on the desktop. Otherwise here's the contents: Code (sh): #!/bin/sh PO_BIN=`readlink -ens "$0"` PO_DIR=`dirname "$PO_BIN"` export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$PO_DIR:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" cd "$PO_DIR" exec ./Pokemon-Online Save that in the PO folder and make a shortcut of it wherever you want.
Thanks but that's not really what I meant. I mean, I can do that and it's how it's configured right now. But there's a handful of things that can't be done with a click-and-run program, such as it being accessible in the system launchers (and subsequently task managers) and not having a unique terminal command (something like $ pokemononline). I'm pretty sure this is manually fixable, I'm just unsure how.
You are probably looking for .desktop files. It would be appreciated if you wrote one by yourself and contributed back to Pokemon Online. See here for guide: https://developer.gnome.org/integration-guide/stable/desktop-files.html.en
As soon as I migrate to Xfce and fix a lack-of-Qt5-libs issue, things I'm doing today, I'm all committed to it. Thanks!
