Hello amrein,

It is realy nice to heare you!

2. "make install" create theide.desktop and copy theide.png in ~/upp using full path (/home/user/upp/theide.desktop) and also use "xdg-desktop-menu install --mode user --novendor theide.desktop" to create a standard menu entry in "~/.local/share/applications" (xdg-desktop-menu is mandatory here). We will also need to provide an uninstall script to remove the xdg-desktop entry or at least, tell users to use "xdg-desktop-menu uninstall --mode user --novendor theide.desktop" if they want to clean their menu.

3. add "LINKOPTIONS=-no-pie" when using gcc as compiler in "domake" script to compiles programs as executable instead of position-independent executable.

I think the best options for us is to implement both options. The point number two is obvious installation improvement - the application is visible in user application stack and it is easy accessible to him. I agree we should deliver "make uninstall". If uninstall operation will be time consuming we should initialy implement only the first step. Anyway, how wants to remove upp after installation Wink

The third option for me seems like a think that we can implement alongside the second option. If it doesn't break anything and fix some problems (not all). This scenario is not presented on my current distribution (Linux Mint 19.1 since two days Wink

) and on my past (KDE based).

Sincerely,
Klugier
