Description

To make life easier on Redhat or any other Linux system we decide to deploy to

On Ubuntu at least a .desktop file containing something like 

#!/usr/bin/env xdg-open

[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Name=MantidPlot
Comment=Neutron Data Reduction Framework
GenericName=MantidPlot
Exec=/home/mgigg/Work/mantidproject/builddir/mantid/debug/bin/MantidPlot
Terminal=false
X-MultipleArgs=false
Type=Application
Categories=Application;
Icon=/home/mgigg/Work/mantidproject/repo/Code/Mantid/Images/MantidPlot_Icon_32offset.png
StartupNotify=false
Name[en_GB]=MantidPlot

does the trick. I'm not sure where it should go though.

  • Status changed from accepted to verify
  • Resolution set to fixed

Works with GNOME on RHEL6 & Ubuntu (checked on a 10.10 box). Don't know about KDE.

To test: install Mantid on linux and check under the Applications menu. It should appear, including both text and the Mantid logo, under one of these categories: Science, Education, Qt (or 'Other' if none of the others are present). The files are in /usr/share/applications/mantidplot.desktop & /usr/share/pixmaps/mantidplot.png.

This is only added if Mantid is installed to /opt/Mantid and points to there (to prevent it pointing to the most recently installed of nightly, unstable etc.).

If you test using 'make install' rather than installing the package, the above files will need removing manually.
