I had created a launcher for my application an the launcher file is :-

#!/usr/bin/env xdg-open
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Terminal=false
Name[en_IN]=stt
Exec=/home/sijoy/Documents/stt_new/STT/STT
Comment[en_IN]=System Tool Trace
Name=stt
Comment=System Tool Trace
Icon=/home/sijoy/splash.bmp
Categories=Utility;Application;

but it is showing the error of not able to get the required dependent libraries,as Caused by: java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: Can't load library: /home/sijoy/./liblog4cxx.so

Actually I am trying to create a launcher for my application which is not installed on my system but kept at a certain location with all its dependent files and runs fine if I directly click the executable going to that folder is it possible to create a launcher for it, if so how?

  • Looks like something related to the environment; as of now you're running your executable using dash, try running it using bash: replace Exec=/home/sijoy/Documents/stt_new/STT/STT with Exec=bash -c 'Exec=/home/sijoy/Documents/stt_new/STT/STT'

It is looking for the file ./liblog4cxx.so in the default current directory, which is your home directory /home/sijoy. You probably need to set the current directory to the directory the executable is in, /home/sijoy/Documents/stt_new/STT, to find the file /home/sijoy/Documents/stt_new/STT/liblog4cxx.so.

Try adding the following line to the end of your desktop file:

Path=/home/sijoy/Documents/stt_new/STT

Despite its name, this sets the current directory and has no effect on your $PATH.
