Compiling as library on linux
-
Whenever I try to compile TPT it works just fine but it is not an executable file. I can run it just fine if i run it though the command line, but that gets tedious and I would prefer to be able to just click on it for convenience.
I tried looking at all the scons options but none of them said anything about it. I also looked at the sconstruct and the sconscript files and I couldn't find anything to help me either.

im simply running scons to compile it. To run the output i just do ./powder64
It is executable but when I try to double click on it just opens a window that says
Open powder64 and other files of type "shared library" with:

Try right clicking it -> properties -> permissions and see if "Allow executing file as a program" is checked. If it isn't, check it (you could also just do "chmod +x powder64")
Although it should already be set.
I don't know why it would think it is a shared library, something strange is going on there. What does it say when you type "file powder64"? I get "powder64: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (GNU/Linux), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2, for GNU/Linux 2.6.32, BuildID[sha1]=7d8fe637e93861014598ab3467c84127f01af025, stripped"
You could also just open it and press ctrl+i, this will install menu shortcuts for you and you can start opening powder toy from there.Edited once by jacob1. Last: 23rd Nov 2017 -

Im thinking it might have somthing to do with xfce.
