Bug 219133 – >=media-video/mplayer-1.0_rc2_p26454-r2 creates no desktop entry

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Hongjiu Zhang 2008-04-24 11:51:40 UTC]

The program works correctly, but no desktop entry (at least for Gnome) was created.

I read the ebuild file, having found:
"# Install the default Skin and Gnome menu entry"
But in the following codes, I found no make_desktop_entry statement.

BTW, I found it installing Blue Skin as a default one. How to change it back to the default window-like theme?

Thank you!

The now to be stabilised version has the same problem.

It seems make install doesn't call install-gui (anymore). Here's an ebuild fix.

Should be finally fixed in mplayer-1.0_rc2_p26753-r1, reopen if still an issue

Thanks guys
