I have sccceded in making launchers with python scripts,php scripts,etc as launchers.
Now I want to make a binary file as a launcher. It is not an installable binary file. It is actually the binary file for WorldOfGoo. The filename is WorldOfGoo.bin32. On runing this file from terminal by the command ./WorldOfGoo.bin32
the game starts.
when i added the path to this file in the Exec field in the [Desktop Entry], like this
/path/to/folder/and/then/WorldOfGoo.bin32 *
and when I clicked on the desktop file,it says "Permission Denied"
How do i get a binary file to work in a .desktop file?
chmod +x WorldOfGoo.bin32
. Is it a typo or are you using "./path/to/folder/and/then/WorldOfGoo.bin32" (with the leading dot) in the Exec field?
