1. Euphoria problem: clicking on Linux programs
euphoria/demo/linux:
bindu mouse.exu
./mouse
no problem
nautilus:
click on mouse
doesn't do anything
But most Linux executable files (other than those made with Euphoria) are
clickable.
Why not Euphoria?

Jerry,
I believe what you need to do is configure a file type association for your
particular desktop. For example, in KDE go to control center, select 'file
associations', select 'add" - enter "euphoria source code" in the description
field, select 'add' - enter the path to exu and check the box for the program to
run in terminal.
I'm not sure, but I think editing the mime type in this manner from KDE may
suffice for your GNOME and/or Nautilus/Gentoo needs.
Hope this helps,

That probably will work for source code. But what I'm talking about is the
binded executable file. It has no file type other than it is executable.
The reason why binded files must be clickable is that most people out there
don't have Euphoria and probably won't be motivated to download and install
Euphoria just to run a program. I suppose I could tell them to download and
install Euphoria so they can run the source code or else do the ./ thing to run
the executable. But they expect to be able to run the executable by clicking on
it. Before it's worth putting on freshmeat, the binded executable must be
clickable.

Is your program a console or a gui program?

mouse.exu is a console program which to the best of my knowledge will not run
from a gui without associating it with a terminal.
In an earlier post you mentioned that freecell.exu, a wxEuphoria program would
not run from Nautilus. I believe that freecell.exu will run from from Nautilus
when clicked or double clicked if it is bound or translated/compiled. I believe
it would also run when clicked if it was shrouded, this would virtually require
installation of euphoria or additional instructions similar to using exu to
execute the source code.
So.... when freecell.exu failed to execute was it bound or translated/compiled?
Just out of curiosity, which version/distribtion of Linux are you
using?

I have replicated Jerry Story's prolem with freecell.exw, I think...
With Euphoria 2.5,
WxEuphoria 7.2:
Bound and shrouded versions of some of the WxEuphoria demo programs
run properly from the command line and when doubled click from a gui
file manager. However, Freecell executables will only partially run
when clicked in a gui file manager - a window pops up reporting that
card.png cannot be found, even though it is in the same directory.
I am able to run the freecell executables from a terminal with ./freecell - just
as Jerry.
freecell.exw will not compile to an executable under my system. I get this
error message:
...
init_0.c
linking
gcc: /usr/lib/libncurses.a: No such file or directory
you can now execute: ./freecell
However, no freecell file was created.
Maybe Rob or Matt Lewis have some answers.

It's a GUI program, with wxEuphoria.

I tried freecell binded and it did not run on Nautilus by clicking on it.
I'm using Mandrake 9.2 and Eu 2.5

Translated code needs to link with the ncurses library,
which should be on your system somewhere, or available
from somewhere. It sounds like you can't translate/compile
*any* program. Is that right?
The message "you can now execute..." comes out even if there
has been an error.

You were right of course. Installation of the ncurses development library solved
that problem.

11. Re: Euphoria problem: clicking on Linux programs
The problem remains unsolved.
The problem has nothing to do with translating from Eu to C.
I am not trying to do that.
Only:
bindu freecell.exu
(This is a demo in wxEuphoria.)
Now there is a binded file called freecell.
I can run it by:
./freecell
What I want to do is run it by clicking on it.

Is the file made executable?

All the permissions allow it to execute, if that's what you mean.

you can try
chmod u+x freecell
to set your permissions to executable on it.
