Title: "make install" Does not Create any Launchers nor File Associations
Post by: Baufo on September 24, 2007, 07:35:21 pm

I am on Ubuntu 7.04 ("Feisty Fawn") and I just downloaded Code::Blocks from svn and built it which worked just fine.

There was just one thing I wondered about - issuing "make install" did not create any launchers nor file associations (for .cbp project files).
Well, is this supposed to be this way? And if it is not do you have any idea what I might have done wrong? Code::Blocks is working nicely otherwise.

Thanks in advance,
Baufo

PS: I am sorry, I am rather new to Linux and therefore also to automake tools so I cannot simply check the Makefile (or wherever I would have to look) to find out what "make install" is actually supposed to do exactly.

Did you ./configure codeblocks with the --prefix parameter?

Yes. Shouldn't I?

Because then e.g. the launcher and the icons will not be copied to the right place
e.g. codeblocks.png will be copied to /opt/codeblocks-svn/share/pixmaps instead of /share/pixmaps when using --prefix=/opt/codeblocks-svn
