Super simple script for running love projects on mac

After all, that's what $PATH is for.

Not really. $PATH is more for directories that contain a lot of executables, and preferably only executables, like /bin, /usr/bin and user-defined ones like ~/bin (or in my case, ~/Hacking/bin). Making an alias to LÖVE is probably better in this case.

See, it doesn't seem to work. Unless I need to reboot first. I get an error..

Code: Select all

~ > love
-bash: love: command not found

[Robin]

What did you do exactly? $PATH or alias? And where did you put it?

[Lafolie]

You can do

Code: Select all

source ~/.bash_profile

to save logging.

[Jasoco]

What did you do exactly? $PATH or alias? And where did you put it?

I did alias and I put it in the ~/.bash_profile file. Exactly what Lafoile said.

[Robin]

Maybe it does work if you put it in ~/.bashrc instead. (Also, the shell you're using is bash, right? Easy way to check: type a closing parenthesis and then enter. If you get bash: syntax error near unexpected token `)' back, you're using bash.)

[Jasoco]

Pretty sure I'm using bash...

And ~/.bashrc is an empty file. Well, it's a non-existent file.

[Robin]

Oh, huh.

Well.

Hm.

And it still doesn't work like that?

If you run the command alias, does it have alias love=... in there somewhere?

[Jasoco]

Yeah it does. Do I need to reboot? Because I haven't yet. Maybe I'll try that.

[Robin]

Well, if it shows up as an alias, your bash should recognize it already. Are you sure that it is the right path to your LÖVE executable? Otherwise, I'm stumped.
