[XFCE][ARCH] How to execute SO files with double click?

[retard]

double clicking opens Application finder when set to run program, I could use ./program as custom command but thats system wide and would ♥♥♥♥ up the distro :/

What exactly you're trying to do? The ".so" files are little bit like ".dll" files are in Windows. They're Shared Object files (or alt. "libraries") which might contain subroutines for different programs to use but aren't themselves programs. These are not meant for "double click to run" type action.

It's a compiled game, I can run it from terminal but I cant run it from double click :/

An .so file lacks the ability to run on its own to the best of my knowledge. I think you are running a different file from the terminal. Which is the exact command you're using in the terminal?

I could run it on Solus and Ubuntu and kali with double click :/

In the application finder try setting it to run with "bash" maybe. (should be located at /bin/bash)

Apparently some .so files can actually be run as applications:

./endless-sky
or endless-sky as i added a script to /bin to run it from anywhere

I expected something like this. If you're not entering "./endless-sky.so", you're not starting the .so file - but the exceutable without extension lying next to it.

That is the executable O_o

It doesn't have an exstension but the OS lists it as shared library file

Could you post the output of

file *

(sitting in the directory)?

Ok, this does look strange to me...
You could put a shell script besides that starts the executable. Shoulld result in the same behaviour as running from terminal.

First of all this is not a Steam/gaming question, this is not the right place to ask such questions.

Secondly you should stop confusing everyone with .so file. It was just compiled as an EXECUTABLE and .so isn't used in name for that reason, generally you can't run .so files.

And most importantly Arch is NOT a pre-configured system, you need to configure almost everything yourself, if you can't find answers how to set up your system - you are on a wrong distro, you should go back to something pre-configured.

If you want to have good experience and have control over your Arch system - its time to grow up and start using Arch wiki, man, search functions and asking questions in the right places. Hint: you are looking for how to make your window manager to run executables, usually you need dconf-editor and changing WM specific settings. GL and go away.
