To reply to my earlier message on getting the icons to work under Ubuntu
16.04. Looking at the desktop jc806 icon installed by the launcher we
find:
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Terminal=false
Name=jc806
Exec=x-terminal-emulator -e "\"/home/tages/j64-806/bin/jconsole\""
Path=/home/tages
Icon=/home/tages/j64-806/bin/icons/jgray.png
I created a new icon using the gnome-desktop-item-edit application. This
gave me the following:
#!/usr/bin/env xdg-open
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Terminal=true
Name[en_US]=jc806
Exec=/home/tages/j64-806/bin/jconsole
Name=jc806
Icon=/home/tages/j64-806/bin/icons/jgray.png
This seems to work fine. Also, jhs806.desktop was given by
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Terminal=false
Name=jhs806
Exec=x-terminal-emulator -e "\"/home/tages/j64-806/bin/jconsole\"
~addons/ide/jhs/config/jhs.cfg"
Path=/home/tages
Icon=/home/tages/j64-806/bin/icons/jblue.png
And my replacement is
#!/usr/bin/env xdg-open
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Terminal=true
Name[en_US]=jhs806
Exec=/home/tages/j64-806/bin/jhs
Name=jhs806
Icon=/home/tages/j64-806/bin/icons/jblue.png
Clicking this opens a terminal with instructions & also opens the browser
running jhs, which seems to run fine. With exit'', both windows vanish.
The file installed by J806 has this ~addons/ide/jhs/config/jhs.cfg term.
Perhaps I'm missing something important here? Haven't tested this much.

The icon thing is interesting. I have a Mac mini running OS 10.12.3. I
installed j64-806 on it according to instructions. It was easy compared to
earlier releases, with the icons appearing on the desktop & all working.
Unfortunately :-( the processor is not new and doesn't support avx.
My small problem is with my new Dell xps 13, running ubuntu 16.04 (I got it
with linux installed). Installing j64-806 goes smoothly and the three icons
appear on the desktop. Jqt, which is what I normally use is fine. However, if
I click on jc806 or jhs806, I get a window which contains the message "Unable
to find a shell". The windows do not function. I can run jconsole or start
jhs by going to thr j65-806 directory and running jconsole.sh or bin/jsh
(there is no jhs.sh file). Would be nice if the jc and jhs icons could be
coaxed to work.
... But really nice to have a trouble-free Mac install.
