No mmaker command?

Ive installed menumaker using /.configure, make, make install and it installed fine

However there isnt a mmaker command :S

EDIT, just found out I can run this from /home/ME/menumaker-0.99.7/mmaker but is there an easier command?

Re: No mmaker command?

I guess you need to check *where* did you actually install the program. The last step (make install) copies newly compiled files somewhere to the filesystem (the destination is set up when you run ./configure --prefix=<some dir>). Check the output of that command.

By the way, why don't you use AUR? Menumaker is there. For the general AUR instructions, check the wiki. It's much better than ./configure; make; make install method, since it creates a pacman package, which can be cleanly managed by pacman.

Usually manual make/install installs to /usr/local/bin, so add that path to your .bashrc or even better install menumaker using aur.

Re: No mmaker command?

managing software without using pacman is not recommended. IMHO you should have used a PKGBUILD
