Some Newbie Questions

Hmm, that's odd... the program started the first time, but when I try starting it again after quiting it, it appears briefly on the screen, then immediately closes.

Question: if I DON'T hardcode /mnt/utmp in the eatuner.sh file, so it looks like this...

#!/bin/bash

pwd=$(pwd)
export HOME=$pwd
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$pwd/lib

./bin/eatuner

...what should my "./configure" prefix look like?

I did it like this:

./configure --prefix=/mnt/utmp/eatuner

You did it like this:

./configure --prefix=/home/debian/eatunerpnd

but that doesn't seem right since you're not going to be running it from Debian...

Looking at what other people are doing, some of the .sh scripts are a lot more complex, like this one from Phantomas:

#!/bin/sh
export PATH="$PWD/bin:${PATH:-"/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/bin"}"
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/mnt/utmp/phantomas/lib:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH:-"/usr/lib:/lib"}"
export HOME="/mnt/utmp/phantomas" XDG_CONFIG_HOME="/mnt/utmp/phantomas"

if [ -d /mnt/utmp/phantomas/share ];then
	export XDG_DATA_DIRS=/mnt/utmp/phantomas/share:$XDG_DATA_DIRS:/usr/share
fi
export SDL_AUDIODRIVER="alsa"
cd $HOME
[ -e "$HOME/scripts/pre_script.sh" ] && . $HOME/scripts/pre_script.sh
if [ -e "$HOME/scripts/post_script.sh" ];then
	./phantomaspc $*
	. $HOME/scripts/post_script.sh
else
	exec ./phantomaspc $*
fi
