Wps-object Samples

To create RPM installers for the ArcaOS and OS/2 platform it is interesting to have some samples on how to create some objects in the Worplace Shell.

Here are some samples I was able to find and test.

Creating a Folder

This created the "MYAPP_FOLDER" object in the desktop. The folder will be labeled "My App x.xx".

%wps_object_create MYAPP_FOLDER:WPFolder|My App %{version}|<WP_DESKTOP>

Creating a WPProgram Object

%wps_object_create MYAPP_EXE:WPProgram|My App|<MYAPP_FOLDER>|EXENAME=((${_bindir}/myapp.exe))

Creating a WPProgram Object for a Readme File

%wps_object_create MYAPP_README:WPProgram|Read Me|<MYAPP_FOLDER>|EXENAME=e.exe;\
PROGTYPE=PROG_PM;PARAMETERS=(({_%docdir}/%{name}/README));OPEN=RUNNING

Creating a WPUrl Object

%wps_object_create MYAPP_URL:WPUrl|myapp.example.com|\
<MYAPP_FOLDER>|URL=http://myapp.example.com

Creating a WPProgram Object and setting the "Working Directory"

%wps_object_create_begin
DIGGERR_EXE:WPProgram|Digger Reloaded|<WP_DESKTOP>|EXENAME=((%{_bindir}/Digger.exe));\
STARTUPDIR=HOME/.config/((%{name}))
%wps_object_create_end
