I'm currently trying to deploy a small application for Linux using linuxdeploy and the Qt Installer Framework. Now the whole process of running linuxdeploy and creating my installer works fine and when I run the installer, it installs the following directory (as it should):
AppDir
-- AppRun
-- AppRun.wrapped
-- usr
-- bin
-- App
-- lib
-- ... (some other stuff from the installation, log, maintenance tools etc.)
My question is basically: Is the user supposed to run the actual binary file in bin? Because of course AppRun.wrapped is also a link to that file and runs the application, but assuming the user knows nothing about that, how do I make it easier to run the application?
I know that the Qt Installer Framework can create a desktop shortcut on Windows, but what would be the equivalent of that for Linux and how do I create it?
Sorry if this is a stupid question, but it's my first time deploying something on Linux and I couldn't find an answer so far.
Thanks in advance!
