Open Object Rexx

David, mostly directed towards you.

If we were to install the PDF doc along with the interpreter on Linux,
is there a standard place it would go?

The reason I ask is I want to close this bug: 'RexxTry using wrong
path for Documentation.'  I plan to add a check if the doc is in a
specific location and a PDF reader can be found, then launch it,
otherwise say no online documentation.

A completely un-related question.

It seems to me in older installations, you could launch rexxtry from
the command line on Linux.  I just noticed in 4.1.0 you can't if you
install from a deb package.  Not sure what happens using a rpm
package, I only have access to a Kubuntu system at present.

Since you are now putting the executables in /usr/bin, I think you
should either put rexxtry there also, or link to it.  Which ever is
appropriate.

Okay, I just took a look at the rpm spec and see that it does link rexxtry to /usr/bin. I'll add that to the deb package. -- Mark Miesfeld > > -- > Mark Miesfeld >

Re: [Oorexx-devel] If we were to install the PDF doc on Linux ... ? From: David Ashley <david.ibm@gm...> - 2010-10-17 16:04 If we were to install the docs they would go in /usr/share/ooRexx or maybe /usr/share/ooRexx/docs. I hesitate to actually add them because they are so large and it would make the rpm larger than most Linux users would like. I might create a brand new RPM just for the docs and other misc. stuff if I get around to it. I have been meaning to look into the deb install as I noticed a few inconsistent things myself. The RPM install links rexxtry.rexx to the /usr/bin subdir. We probably need to do the same thing for the deb install. Also the deb install does not seem to put 64 bit libraries in the correct place. And a few other items should be corrected.
