Renaming console_runner to something more C::B specific

(1/1)

TheTuxKeeper:
First it's a thought of Pascal Bleser (a suse packager), but I agree with him :)

console_runner is a very general name what could cause naming problems with other apps, because it's usually installed into a systemwide bindir. But even there won't be name conflicts you don't know to which app it belongs. Since it's part of codeblocks a more specific name like codeblocks_console_runner or cb_console_runner would be better.

What do you think ?

I only talk from a linux user's point of view. ;)

Der Meister:
Agreed. I (gentoo-user) didn't have any such problem yet, but better we avoid it right now. I don't think that this would be a problematic change - or am I missing something?

Hello.

I did not have any troubles on Ubuntu and Gentoo until now, but as Der Meister said it is better to avoid them.

IMHO cb_console_runner is a good alternative :).

Best wishes,
Michael

TheTuxKeeper:
I submitted a patch for this issue (I also posted it in the community patches thread): https://developer.berlios.de/patch/index.php?func=detailpatch&patch_id=1107&group_id=5358

I renamed the binary name of console_runner to cb_console_runner in sources, project files, *.iss, update scripts and Makefile.am (nearly everywhere I found it ;) )
