Re: [Rpcemu] Creating application on my MX Linux Desktop

Not that familiar with Linux/Xfce but do the instructions at http://xmodulo.com/create-desktop-shortcut-launcher-linux.html work with the command being the executable with its path? ("~/rpcemu-0.9.1/rpcemu-recompiler"). Might also have to give the working directory as "~/rpcemu-0.9.1".

Hi there,

I have managed to compile rpcemu-0.9.1 to run from Xfce Terminal on my MX Linux (32bit) laptop.

I used QT5, and the Source is in the directory, $/Home/John/rpcemu-0.9.1/src/qt5

How do I install the application on my desktop, such that I can click on the rpcemu icon and load the application,

Currently I have to carry out the following actions in Xfce Terminal to run the software.

john@mx:~
$ cd rpcemu-0.9.1/src/qt5 <enter>
john@mx:~/rpcemu-0.9.1/src/qt5
$ cd ../.. <enter>
john@mx:~/rpcemu-0.9.1

$ ./rpcemu-recompiler <enter>

and the software runs correctly and loads a RISC OS desktop in a window.

What I don't know is how to access the software in such a way as to have it selectable from the MX Desktop.

Could someone explain how to do this.

Yours hopefully,

John McCulloch
