I created one installer (for linux and windows both) using InstallAnywhere which creates a text file. In Windows, it's working perfectly. When i installed it in linux, it installed properly but on clicking on Desktop Shortcut (that this installer created on installation), four options are coming.
1. Run 2. Run in terminal 3. Cancel 4. Display
On clicking on Display, one shell-script file opens (shell-scripts written already in this file). On clicking on Run, nothing happens. on clicking on Run in terminal, terminal opens for a fraction of second and disappears, but nothing happens.
In Installation directory, running the installation file, new fine generates (i.e. purpose is solved) but Desktop shortcut is giving the expected result.
What can be problem and it's solution?
PS: Desktop shortcut has 755 permission, i am logged in as Administrator and Link Target of this shortcut is same file which on running is giving correct result.
You can add a a pause at the end of your script so when running in terminal, it will display the error (e.g. 'read -p "Press ENTER " foo') or you can redirect output & errors to some file.
If the script works from original location, then I guess you have some wrong path define.
I am using Ubuntu linux. When i run the Desktop shortcut using terminal i.e. (./MyProject), I am getting expected result. But, when i double click on Desktop Shortcut, same thing happened as mentioned in previous post (by me).
When i click on display in Desktop Shortcut, The attached script appears. I have attached the script as text file.
Try debuging your script by adding "set -x" to the beginning of you script (after #!/bin/sh)
Then add 'read -p "Press ENTER " foo' command before some (or all) of the exit commands inside the script.
Then executing shortcut via "Run in terminal" should display the reason of the exit (terminal should stay opened due to the read command (NB: read command does not work with "Run", only with "Run in terminal" as it require tty)).
