Proper placement of icon theme on OS X

Asked by vszakats

Hi,

LinuxDC++ icons appear as red cross when run on OS X.

I've tried various combinations to place icons (starting with
sconf install, ~/.local/share/icons/hicolor/, pixmaps in bin dir),
but none worked. I've run ./linuxdcpp from bin dir from Terminal.

What is proper placement of icon files so that the app finds them?

Brgds,
Viktor

Depends on what version of linuxdcpp you have. Regardless of version, installing linuxdcpp using scons install should definitely place them in the correct location. If you're running from compile directory and you're using latest bzr trunk then you can place them anywhere in the icon theme search path (varies per system). Mine is:

~/.icons
~/.local/share/icons
/usr/share/gnome/icons
/usr/local/share/icons
/usr/share/icons
/usr/share/gnome/pixmaps
/usr/local/share/pixmaps
/usr/share/pixmaps
<prefix>/share/linuxdcpp/icons

Within these paths you have to place them in a certain structure (see icon theme spec) or you can just copy the linuxdcpp hicolor directory to be under the icons folder.

If you're using 1.0.3 or earlier then it depends upon the prefix you specified when compiling. The path would be:
<prefix>/share/linuxdcpp/pixmaps/

I'm using latest bzr (r341) and these commands to build and run it:

$ scons CXXFLAGS=-I/opt/local/include PREFIX=~/linuxdcpp
$ scons install
$ cd ~/linuxdcpp/bin
$ ./linuxdcpp

It installed icons in ~/linuxdcpp/share/icons/ but that doesn't seem
to get picked, with these messages:

I've also tried ~/.icons and ~/.local/share/icons, but they didn't
work for me. System dirs like /usr is not an option for me.

Sounds like you need to install the hicolor icon theme from freedesktop.org. It is the default icon theme needed for the icon theme specification to work.
