How dtappintegrate Integrates Applications

The function of dtappintegrate is to set up links between the installed files and the locations where the desktop looks for configuration files.

to

/etc/dt/appconfig/types/language/*.dt

Help Information Files

to

/etc/dt/appconfig/help/language/help_file.sdl

Icon Files

dtappintegrate creates symbolic links from the icon files in the registration package to the system-wide directory along the icon search path. This is done by creating links from

app_root/dt/appconfig/icons/language/icon_files

to

/etc/dt/appconfig/icons/language/icon_files 

Application Group
