how to make a terminal command run as an icon in arch-phosh

[pineuser0]

I have an application (blender) that only runs with

Code:

LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 blender

how can I make it so I can use a blender icon in the phone's home menu to run the above command

Does Blender already have an icon in the launcher? If so, you will probably find the corresponding .desktop file in /usr/share/applications/. In that file insert setting the variable on the "Exec=" line:

Code:

Exec=env LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 blender

If you want to keep this file from being overwritten (e. g. with package updates), you can copy the .desktop file to ~/.local/share/applications/ which will take precedence over the one in /usr/share/applications.

If no .desktop file for blender exists, you have to create a new one.

OR:
Create a 1-line script with your code, make it executable and name something like "blender-code" and place in /usr/local/bin;
Then create your own launcher called "blender.desktop" in ~/.local/share/share/applications with the following lines:
    [Desktop Entry]
   Name=Blender
   Type=Application
   Icon=[PATH-TO-YOUR-BLENDER-ICON].png
   Exec=/usr/local/bin/blender-code
   Categories=Utility;

Reboot, and check to see if the blender icon is now visible on the desktop. If so, click it to launch blender...
