| Summary | 0002237: native location of portable version causes: Argument list too long | ||||
| Description | Usually applications by user are stored in Linux ~/.local/bin/ folder as it is usually automatically in path if it exist (may depend on Linux distro). As the Double Commander is not a single binary app then it locates under subfolder. Sounds not a good idea to extract the app archive directly into ~/.local/bin/ folder... As understood the file in case of portable version to run is doublecmd.sh inside the application folder as also written in the beginning of that script. For example I create ~/.local/bin/doublecmd-bin/ folder and unpack the app archive there. Could not use the folder name doublecmd as intending to create a symlink with same name. Then I create the symlink with absolute paths: ln -s /home/user/.local/bin/doublecmd-bin/doublecmd.sh /home/user/.local/bin/doublecmd Then trying to run doublecmd there will be certain delay and then error message: ./doublecmd: 9: ./doublecmd: ./doublecmd: Argument list too long Tried to leave symlink name doublecmd.sh as original file but then error message: /home/user/.local/bin/doublecmd.sh: 9: /home/user/.local/bin/doublecmd.sh: ./doublecmd: not found When using the original binary for symlink, I could run the app but seeing also some error messages and lots of output and as portable app should be run from that bash script and not directly then currently there is that situation not solved. As we know, in case of portable app there should be app run folder contain in appropriate variable path before to run, as in doublecmd.sh: #!/bin/sh # Use this script for execute portable version of Double Commander cd "`dirname "$0"`" export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$(pwd) ./doublecmd | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | 1. mkdir -p ~/.local/bin/ 2. ensure you have ~/.profile file and at least lines inside it: # set PATH so it includes user's private bin if it exists if [ -d "$HOME/.local/bin" ] ; then PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH" fi 3. relogin to system or source the ~/.profile file: source ~/.profile 4. download portable Gtk2 version and unpack the DoubleCMD into ~/.local/bin/doublecmd-bin/ folder 5. ln -s /home/user/.local/bin/doublecmd-bin/doublecmd.sh /home/user/.local/bin/doublecmd 6. doublecmd #try to run from command line then you see the error message The idea is that we could use in .desktop file: Exec=doublecmd ...without any paths and we just ensure the running command is in current path. Certainly we can add every app folder separately into path but it would be more logical to ensure the app running command itself can be put into folder of existing path and not every app independently. Would it be possible in case of portable app? | ||||

ln -s /home/user/.local/bin/doublecmd-bin/doublecmd.sh /home/user/.local/bin/doublecmd #!/bin/sh # Use this script for execute portable version of Double Commander cd "`dirname "$0"`" <- /home/user/.local/bin/ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$(pwd) ./doublecmd <- doublecmd so you just created a symlink that executes itself in a loop? |

Needs to use "realpath" in script file. Something like this: #!/bin/sh # Use this script for execute portable version of Double Commander export BIN="$(dirname "`realpath "$0"`")" export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:"$BIN" "$BIN/doublecmd" |
