Hi
I have a game called btanks. Great game for the kids!
To run the game I first have to open a konsole and change directories, cd /usr/local/games/btanks-0.7.5
Then I have to type ./bt to run the game.

For my kids, who are rather young, that is difficult to do. So... I wanted to add it to the KDE>Games>Arcade list.

When I edit KDE, I can't seem to put in the right command to get it to start up. How would I do that?

PS if any of you are interested in the game it is at:
http://btanks.sourceforge.net/blog/

Using the info you posted, the right command would be /usr/local/games/btanks-0.7.5/bt.

Thanks reddazz for the response.

I tried that, but when I click on the game through kde, it acts like it is going to load but then nothing happens.

I don't know all of the usage when editing KDE. I tried to run in terminal still nothing. I am not sure what command to add.

Try this in a konsole:
Does it run? If not , try this:
Does it run this time?

Try what tredegar says. If the first way doesn't work but the second does, then you'll need to put /usr/local/games/btanks-0.7.5 under the ''Work Path'' option in your menu entry.
I'm getting the game now too

The second one works.

The first one gets the following error:
error while loading shared libraries: libmrt.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Hey guys I got it to work!

I edited the kde
I entered in the command:
/usr/local/games/btanks-0.7.500/bt

and in the working dir
/usr/local/games/btanks-0.7.500

I saved and ran it through kde.

Thanks a bunch

I am not sure what the problem is with libmrt.so

arungoodboy, if you have any problem getting it to compile just let me know. The instructions are very sketchy.

Phew you weren't kidding! It was quite a mess getting that darn thing working. I had to install scons, libsigc++, lua, and a couple others, and I still couldn't get it to build.
Finally I just got the deb packages and used the excellent src2pkg tool to get the tgz's for my OS. Runs perfect now.

I got scons, libsig, and lua prepackaged at linux packages.
I always check there first
