I don't use a file manager that much. I like Gentoo because it is easy to configure to open up programs associated with a file. I can play my mp3's, open pdf's, etc.

I just installed Firebird, but I am not able to add it to the Fluxbox menu.

I am very unsure how to go about this since i have to go to the firebird folder and do ./MozillaFirebird to start it up

What should the line in the menu file look like to make me able to exec firebird from the menu?

[exec] (Firebird browser) {/path/to/MozillaFirebird}

Done that but it still wont start the program.

I'm guessing there should be something more in {/fire/MozillaFirebird} but I did try with the following: {/fire/MozillaFirebird/ ./MozillaFireBird} wich did not work.

Sorry for the noobieness here ppl (c:

What directory is this?

# What directory am I using
pwd

Or look throuth the list returned by

locate MozillaFirebird

You would use the complete path to the executable, ie the /working directory/MozillaFirebird

Something that might look like

/usr/bin/MozillaFirebird
/usr/local/bin/MozillaFirebird
/usr/local/src/firebird/MozillaFirebird

Well the complete path is /home/usr/fire/MozillaFirebird/
wich is the complete path. (*usr instead of the username for security reason while posting here fyi.)

and it its the complete path I have in the menu config file: (Firebird) {/home/usr/fire/MozillaFirebird/}

However it still does not exec and I belive its is because I dont have the ./MozillaFirebird exec in that line because I do not know where to put it. *shrug*

Try making that line:
(note I left the last / offf)

-zsejk

If you haven't left your computer on overnight, as root do

updatedb
locate MozillaFirebird | more











































was it /usr/bin/MozillaFirebird as I suspect?

Actually, what it probably is is that you've got an executable MozillaFirebird in a directory MozillaFirebird, so you just need:

{/home/usr/fire/MozillaFirebird/MozillaFirebird}

The './foo' is only applicable when trying to run it from the current directory. (.) But you do need a binary on the end of a string of directories to have a complete path.

-- Well, you need a *file* for an complete path I mean. But for the purposes of launching crap, you need an executable, I mean. Whether binary or script.

Incidentally, your user name is 'usr'? *g*

Yes, yes, indeed. Listen to digiot! Zsejk was coffee-less at the time of posting, and will not be held accountable for any mistakes made during that dark period of this day...



-zsejk

Thnx digiot. Gonna try that when I get off work. And no the username is not 'usr' just removed the real one
