Applications Menu Problem with Anjuta

[berbo]

Hello

I have tried a lot of IDE. After test, I remove (uninstall) most of them except Anjuta. After that I had problems with Anjuta, so I have removed it and installed it just after that.

Problems with Anjuta were out but Anjuta is not the not in the main Menu (Applications>Programmation). If I run a search for Anjuta inside the DesktopSearch the software is finded and I can run it.

But I am not able to place it inside Menu.

Someone can help me?

It should find its way to the menu when it's installed
Open the menu the normal way
Select the menu editor oddly it's called Main Menu
Select the subsection where you want the new menu item
Click on New item

Hello

I had tried this but it does not work.

I try to enter the name of the software (Anjuta). Is it OK? Have I to enter the full path or something else? And if yes, where to find the full path?

Okay add a new app.

For name, type in Anjuta. For the command, click browse, and browse to /usr/bin/ and see if you find anything related to Anjuta.

If it still doesn't work, try typing sudo anjuta in the command box.

sudo anjuta

No good to run as root...
The "Add new" has autocomplete
anyway open a terminal and type

which anjuta

and you get the path to anjuta
Note you have to beware of minor and major letters
If it is Anjuta, you will not get any result for anjuta so check that out
When you have the path use it to add to the menu

Hello

The «which anjuta» does not work. Same thing for «Anjuta».

But if I type «anjuta» in the DesktopSearch find the software and I can run it.

I was also able to put it inside the «Tableau de bord» (I do not know the right word in English- may the DashBoard? - the bar at the bottom of the screen.

So, here the questions:
Why can I find and run the software with a search or with the Tableau de bord?
Why not via the command «which anjuta»?
Why can I not place it inside the MintMenu?

have you tried using the menulist gui administration?
you just look in the different sections till you find anjunta and tick its box.

You should - well must - find it with the command which. But I've just checked and found out that if the executable is in your home folder which does not find it.
So the path to use would be something like /home/your_username/anjuta/anjuta
and of course the spelling....
use that and it should work. Normally programs don't end up in home - but some do...

[Boo]

in your .profile file at the bottom add this line to include where anjuta is.

PATH=~/anjuta:"${PATH}"

then run the command

source .profile

now if you type anjuta it will just run.

I do not have a /home/myname/anjuta directory. But I have a /home/myname/.anjuta (a dot before anjuta). Inside it, we have 3 files: session.properties, tools.xml and user.properties, but no EXE file.

I found anjuta exe file in /usr/bin (and I can launch the software)

So, what's not normal? Why is it impossible to have anjuta inside Mintmenu?

[Boo]

did you try config center --> desktop--> menulist?

if it was not listed in one of the sections then I suspect the package/app was not created properly.

you could still create a launcher on the desktop.

[berbo]

... I suspect the package/app was not created properly.

Is there a way to know if a package was not created properly?

[Boo]

alright i have looked at anjuta website.

I see there a few dependencies and addons to anjuta and working with gnome/gtk.

ajunta is a tar ball to download and install so I expect that it is not completely integrated with the gnome desktop. download and compile to install it.

If it downloaded as a .deb file I would expect it to integrate into gnome and its menus.

so i think you are out of luck with the menu, unless there is a manual way to add it.

Hello

My installation of Anjuta was coming from Linux Mint (install software) and not from a personnal install. So, if I a am out of luck that's the proof that is something wrong with Linux Mint. No?

Somebody knows is what we have to do to add a software manually to the Linux Menu?
