[Slackbuilds-users] foobillard plus install error and solution

[Relativ]

Hello SlackBuild users,

http://slackbuilds.org/repository/14.1/games/foobillardplus/?search=foobillardplus

I tried to install foobillardplus (3.43beta) from the slackbuild and the 
install errored out as seen below


make[3]: Entering directory 
`/usr/src/slapt-src/games/foobillardplus/foobillardplus-code-170'

/usr/src/slapt-src/games/foobillardplus/package-foobillardplus/usr/games/foobillardplus/data
cp: cannot stat ‘./foobillardplus.desktop’: No such file or directory

I was able to fix this error by simply placing a file called 
'foobillardplus.desktop' into my 
'/usr/src/slapt-src/games/foobillardplus/foobillardplus-code-170' folder 
and re-running the slackbuild script. After placing that file the 
install finished fine.

There is one other issue - the actual foobillard.desktop file that gets 
created doesn't work becuase the 'exec' parameter is set to 'foobillard' 
instead of 'foobillardplus'. Once I changed the entry, the program then 
runs fine from the menu shortcut that was created in my xfce menu.

Thanks for all your efforts.

A happy slacker,
Rel
