Noob Question

[grindbox]

Im coming from using Linux and LOVE BSD! I have a noob question for youz, after compiling programs from the ports (nero for example) is does not make an entry in my KDE menu. How do I run the program or make a shortcut after its in my systen?

I'm not familiar with KDE but you can try looking in /usr/local/bin to find installed ports.

If it's not there, type

whereis <insert program name>

without the arrows of course and that should give you the path to where the program is located.

Thanks for the reply and your help. BSD kicks a$$!!

Only ports which install a .desktop file get automatically added to KDE's menu.

One thing you can try is running "kappfinder" which searches your filesytem for apps it knows and adds it to the menu.

Go to KDE menu -> Settings -> Menu updating tool. Then run Scan and your app should be there.
