how rox-filer compile and install on ubuntu

tried 0install way, but don't like how it works.
I'd prefer compile it right out of repository and with the old "make && make
install" routine to install an app. but I did't figure it out how to "make
install" the rox-filer on ubuntu. I had also tried symbolic link back to
compiled binary(with ./AppRun --compile to make the binary), but upon
opening ~/ directory, the ui is broken, and while choose Options from right
click, it reports that it can't find Options.xml file, and the option dialog
is complete empty only with the cancel/ok buttons. so how can I solve the
problem? and how can I build a deb package, so that I can share with others. 

sys spec:
xubuntu 8.06 amd64

thx

I'm pretty sure Ubuntu has a rox-filer package but it might be a bit out
of date. If you compile, you got the first bit right, but instead of
linking to the binary make a shell script which execs AppRun. The binary
uses argv[0] to work out the AppDir.

OK, that should work because AppRun does this:

APP_DIR=`dirname "$0"`
APP_DIR=`cd "$APP_DIR";pwd`; export APP_DIR

The pwd makes it follow the symbolic link and find the real directory. I
think earlier versions didn't do that, so it would have thought APP_DIR
was /usr/bin. Instead /usr/bin/rox would have to be a separate script
containing this:

#!/bin/sh
exec /home/seen/build/rox-filer/ROX-Filer/AppRun "$@"

PS it's usual to use /usr/local/bin for scripts and programs you've
added yourself; keep /usr/bin for stuff installed by the package
manager.

rox + pmount + ivman with CDROMs

I've got ROX-filer setup with icewm in a minimal Debian Etch system. I am trying to get automounting with
pmount and ivman going, and it almost works. I've got a couple lines in my icewm startup script that makes
sure that ivman is running as user. I have told ROX-filer to use pmount and pumount to mount and unmount
stuff. My USB drives work as expected. However, CDROM behavior isn't optimal.

When I stick a CD in the drive, the "mount-dot" on the 'cdrom0' icon in /media doesn't turn green (it remains
grey). If I try to browse the CD with the 'cdrom' symlink, I can. But the 'cdrom0' mount-dot remains grey. I
can eject the CD using the 'cdrom0' icon without problems.

On the other hand, if after sticking a CD in the drive I try to browse it directly with the 'cdrom0' icon, I get a
message telling me that "/dev/hdb is already mounted on /media/cdrom0. Mount failed. (Seems to be
mounted now anyway)" And then the "mount-dot" turns green.

Help?

eject and unmount

I am using ROX-Filer with IceWm on Debian Etch.

Could someone please clarify the relationship between ROX-Filer's "Eject" command and its "Unmount"
command? I have written a custom unmount script that executes as expected when I select "Unmount", but it
doesn't execute when I select "Eject".

What exactly does "Eject" do? Does it unmount before ejecting? If so, how?

Eject runs whatever command you've configured it to run. By default,
it runs "eject $mount_point".

Re: eject and unmount

Thanks for the reply.

I cannot figure how the 'eject' command is configured. Configuring the "unmount" command is easy and works
for me just fine. Where/how do I configure 'eject'?

I'm using ROX-Filer 1.2.28-4 if that matters.

Oops... make that ROX-filer 2.5.1.
