Hello,

I think it is some kind of critical before release. We need to fix the installation on Ubuntu* like distrubtion such as Mint (I am currently using this distribution). What I have noticed is without appropriate .desktop file the application will not run. We need .desktop file preferable after "make install" we should copy this file to "~/.loca/share/applications" folder. The file that I used is from TheIDE installation:

#!/usr/bin/env xdg-open
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=TheIDE
GenericName=TheIDE
Comment=IDE for cross-platform C++ development
MimeType=application/x-upp;
Exec=/home/klugier/upp/theide
Icon=/home/klugier/upp/TheIDE.png
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=Development;IDE;
StartupNotify=false

What is wrong here is that we can not use directly "~" for home directory. We need to specify full path "/home/klugier". Moreover, we need to specify the path to icon to have one in search bar Wink

Wink

I belive we need to do this before release.

Sincerely,
Klugier

U++ - one framework to rule them all.
