Linux builds do not work? #47

Closed kahukowhai closed 5 years ago

kahukowhai commented 7 years ago

My computers are running Xubuntu xenial. When I install the latest version 2.2.2.3 download (x 64) on them, none of them will create a shortcut to anything on the menu so that I can run this software.

To install them on Linux I used the deb package, downloaded and then installed with dpkg. apt install -i was used to fix missing dependencies.

At the moment I can only use the Windows version on Windows 8.1

After I installed I looked for the software on my computer. I found the install files in /opt/flickrdownloadr The files seem to include DLLs and exe file. This seems very strange to see on Linux. At any rate I cannot find a command I can run that will execute the software.

The presence of exe and dll is legit, because this is an app written in C# and Mono and one of the dependencies that gets installed is the mono framework which launches the exe.

Can you please check to see if running /opt/flickrdownloadr/flickrdownloadr from a terminal window helps in launcing the app on Xubuntu?

How do you invoke it?

patrick@MainPC:~$ cd /opt patrick@MainPC:/opt$ cd flickrdownloadr/ patrick@MainPC:/opt/flickrdownloadr$ ./flickdownloadr bash: ./flickdownloadr: No such file or directory patrick@MainPC:/opt/flickrdownloadr$ ls aptgetscript bin flickrdownloadr icon.png patrick@MainPC:/opt/flickrdownloadr$ flickrdownloadr flickrdownloadr: command not found patrick@MainPC:/opt/flickrdownloadr$

I looked at your instructions again then I went over to Mono page and ran their installer then it works but there is no shortcuts on the menu.
