creating an executable file

liljhand · 01-23-2005, 05:27 PM

hi peepz
for running azureus, i always have to type some commands in console and that takes time.
cant i just make an executable file that runs the code by itself and then azureus starts by itself??

my default folder in consloe is /home/suhail . i only have to type cd Program\ Files (and then) cd azureus (and then i run ) java -cp swt.jar:swt-pi.jar:Azureus2.jar -Djava.library.path=./ org.gudy.azureus2.ui.swt.Main

im running mandrake 10.1. so how do i make it

hmm, i've used azureus before, but i never had to do all that. azureus comes with an executable named 'azureus,' (at least with the version i downloaded), which is exactly what you're looking for. it should be there already in your azureus directory: while you're in the azureus directory, try running './azureus'
also, why is there 'program files' on your linux system?

well i dunno y but when i click on the icon it does nuthin also ./azureus gives an error so when i went to the azureus site, this was the solution posted there. so i am using it.

about program files, i couldnt think of a good name so i just called the folder that. but i dont like windoze a single bit( and i have almost completely migrated to linux, almost)

Just make a script. Create a text file and put the CLI commands you type to start Azureus, one per line, in the order that you type them at the prompt. Name it startazureus (or whatever). Put it in your home directory and type ./startazureus to start the app.

should it look like this:
cd Program\ Files
cd azureus
java -cp swt.jar:swt-pi.jar:Azureus2.jar -Djava.library.path=./ org.gudy.azureus2.ui.swt.Main

anywayyz i tried it and named it azureus.sh. and when i got to console i just have to type sh azureus.sh. But i want to make it so that when i double click the file, azureus opens. i dont wanna go to console and type it. BTW thanks 4 ur help

You can make an icon for the script that you create, instead of running it from the command line.

As far as what commands are in it, I guess your commands are correct. Whatever you first type to start Azureus, put that on the first line. Whatever command you type 2nd put on the 2nd line. Etc. Also -forgot to mention..you'll need to run chmod on the script to make it executable (chmod 755 [filename]).
