 Posted: Thu May 25, 2006 8:39 am Post subject: how to make .c or .java into .bin or .run? |
 |
|
So, I have a few C and Java programs I have written in Xandros which I find myself using somewhat extensively, and I would like to put them into .runs or .bins ...can anyone tell me where to start? Which one do I choose and how do I do it? The programs are not gui based, but would it be possible to make some sort of file that you can just double click on and have them launch in console?
Basically I want to save myself the extra time of having to navigate to the program and do a ./ every time I want to run it.

*.c C program
*.jar java program
*.bin executable
For C, you need gcc. Open up XN, search for gcc, install C/C++
development libraries. Then on a console do
gcc ???.c
Look in manpage for options.
man gcc
You probably have java. Do
java -jar ???.jar
There is no manpage, but docs at
java -h
(help option)
bin files execute by itself. Do
./???.bin
You can write a shell script and put in .kde/Autostart (spelling?).
I.e.,
#!/bin/sh
java -jar ???.jar
gcc ???.c
./???.bin
Be sure to use the long pathname.

ok, great thanks for the advice...
So just save the shell script as ???.bin right?

It sounds like the problem is that your programs are not in your $PATH.
What I suggest you do is create a special place where you put all your executable files (files with the 'x' bit set in their permissions, -rwxr-xr-x) in a special place, say $HOME/bin, and then put that in your path by editing your $HOME/.bash_profile.
Java programs might need to be wrapped in a script to execute the JVM emulator program and feed it the class or jar file.
Alternatively, you could write shell functions or aliases to execute your programs using their absolute path name. For example, in my $HOME/.bash_profile I wrote a function to run the program vim with different options depending on where I am when I run it, just by typing the command vi.
| Code: |
# set PATH so it includes my home bin dir
if [ -d $HOME/bin ] ; then
PATH=$HOME/bin:"${PATH}"
fi
vi()
{
if [ -n "$DISPLAY" ]; then
/usr/bin/gvim "$*";
else
/usr/bin/vim "$*";
fi
}
export -f vi
|
I stuck this segment of code right at the end of my $HOME/.bash_profile file. |
