Apps :: More questions regarding compiling extensions

try "-pad gnuplot" rather than "-pad ./"

The other issue is that the user.tar.gz appears in /opt/gnuplot/

This is correct. When a uci is mounted, the user.tar.gz file is then opened from /opt/gnuplot as a tar.gz mydsl extension.

You should move this file to /home/dsl/opt/gnuplot before creating the extension.

Ok, I tried it this way:

In /home/dsl/work I put

bin/ lib/ libexec/ share/ (all the application directories)
user.tar.gz (icon and menu link)
gnuplot (link to application executable)

With the same command this creates the /opt/gnuplot directory all correctly but does not put the application link /opt/bin

Ahh, maybe I should put that link in user.tar.gz

Hi mickshaw, thanks for the reply.

The last method I tried beore your reply worked. Everything is where it is supposed to be, the icon and menu item work and the application is found from anywhere via the path.

I'm not sure that the application link is supposed to be in user.tar.gz but it seems to work.

Thanks for suggestion.

Regards phil

Yes, the .lnk goes in there. Good job on your extension
