Open file from command line in linux

autodeskguest

Hi.

 

I'd like to get a list of what command line parameters

eagle can be run with on linux.

I'm looking for a way to open a (schematic) file from the

command line (so that i can create a .desktop file to

open eagle files).

 

Anybody? Thanks.

    /usr/bin/eagle file.sch

    it does the aforementioned weired behaviour, but if i run:

    /opt/eagle-5.7.0/bin/eagle file.sch

    it opens the schematic as it's supposed to.

    I guess it's some sort of packaging issue, so I'll post it in the AUR

    comments.

     

    Check exactly what /usr/bin/eagle is. On my Gentoo box with an official

    CadSoft CD install of 4.15 there are also two executable paths. However,

    /usr/bin/eagle is merely a symbolic link to /opt/eagle/bin/eagle. I

    don't have the box with v5 running right now to see if that's the same.

     

    If I remember correctly, in Arch, it's a script that sets up some

    environment variables and creates your .eagle directory if it doesn't

    exist.  It probably doesn't pass its own command-line parameters to the

    final executable.
