A little suggestion about run.sh

[Funto]

Just wanting to suggest this type of "run.sh" :

Code

#!/bin/sh

APP_DIR=`pwd`
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$APP_DIR:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
$APP_DIR/codeblocks.exe $@

instead of :

Code

#!/bin/sh

APP_DIR=/home/funto/installations/codeblocks-1.0-RC1-1/src/output
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$APP_DIR:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
$APP_DIR/codeblocks.exe $@

This permits to move the folder containing C::B...

Yes I know I shouldn't have created a topic on the forum for something like this :p

why not just use relative paths then?

APP_DIR=codeblocks-1.0-RC1-1/src/output

better not to assume the shell supports pwd (although can't think of what environment would not).

The reason it's not using relative paths is so it can be used as a desktop shortcut
Besides, if you move the folder, run ./update again and run.sh will be updated...

I've looked into ebuild installing C::B in Gentoo Linux http://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php/topic,810.0.html.
Here's what I've found:

Code

	# Code::Blocks has a funny install procedure that puts all of its
	# executables and libraries inside a single directory structure. This may be
	# useful for installation on Windows, but does not follow FHS standards on
	# linux. The following patch modifies the code to read the plugins and data
	# from the proper paths.

	# Code::Blocks has an odd makefile. This patch also makes it accept the user's
	# CXXFLAGS
	epatch ${FILESDIR}/${P}.patch

And one more peace of code:

Code

	# And now the screwy Code::Blocks installation. It is built around a windows
	# install model where all executables, data, and libraries are under a
	# program's directory. We need to run the install script which will
	# "install" to ${S}/src/ouput and then manually move everything to ${D} in
	# the proper FHS paths
	cd ${S}/src
	. update

	# install the icon
	cd ${S}/src/src/resources/icons
	insinto /usr/share/pixmaps
	newins app_64.xpm codeblocks.xpm	

	# fixup permissions and move files from src/output to their proper places in
	# ${D}
	cd ${S}/src/output
	
	# rename the main executable to something less windows-ish
	newbin codeblocks.exe codeblocks
	dobin console_runner.exe
	dolib.so libcodeblocks.so

	# tips.txt belongs in share
	insinto /usr/share/${PN}
	doins tips.txt
	cd share/CodeBlocks
	
	# now setup /usr/share/codeblocks and move the data files there
	doins -r *.zip images/ templates/ lexers/

	# move the plugin libraries out of this "share"
	insopts -m0755
	insinto /usr/lib/${PN}
	doins -r plugins/
	insopts -m0644
	
	# and the docs
	cd ${S}/src
	dodoc AUTHORS BUGS COMPILERS ChangeLog README TODO

	# and lastly, the desktop entry
	make_desktop_entry codeblocks "Code::Blocks IDE" "codeblocks.xpm" \
	"Development" 

And as I see it install C::B just like any other app under Linux copying all resources into default system directories - there's no need for any running script (but unfortunately will allow only one C::B version to be installed at once). Maybe some UNIX-like installer should be added ?

Ok that's why my shortcut didn't work

It would be cool if there were an Ubuntu package, too...
