Launching an app in LINUX

[livecodeuser1987]

I have a demo app.I could compile a standalone and run it successfully on windows and MAC.
How do I launch the app in LINUX??(double clicking it doesnot open??).I am using CentOS.
Thanks in advance.

Did you build the app on Linux, or on another platform and then copied it to Linux?

If the latter, you may need to set the executable bit in the app file's permissions. I'm not familiar with CentOS' UI, but in Ubuntu you can right-click on the file and select "Properties".

...and if that fails, open a terminal prompt and type

Code: Select all

chmod 777 nameOfYourProgram

a bit more secure:

chmod 755 nameOfYourProgram

...and if that fails, open a terminal prompt and type

Code: Select all

chmod 777 nameOfYourProgram

Don't do this, 777 will allow anyone to overwrite your appz.

You should use
chmod 755 nameOfYourProgram

and make sure the owner of nameOfYourProgram is not apache

Thankyou all.
It throws "cannot execute binary file" error.
doing chmod did not fix it:(
I am trying to implement this app on a raspberry pi(Debian OS).

My Raspberry Pi is still backordered
But I doubt that will work for you. The Pi uses an ARM processor and the linux build is for Intel.

Figured it..
had to yum install ld-linux.so.2 (and other dependencies)
Thankyou all for your suggestions.

By "figured it" did you mean you got it to execute on CentOS or did you actually get it to run on a Raspberry Pi?

You can't run on ARM Linux... unless you are emulating x86 Linux...

I wanted to run my App on Rarspberry Pi.I could not.
But could only get it working on Cent OS.
Thanks SoapDog and AndreGarcia for the suggestions.

Just wanted to add my voice... The ability to have an ARM Linux build would be AWESOME!!!

An early test build of the ARM compile for Linux is linked to from this article:
