I knew I'd be back.

I decided to go for the recompiler version first and, after
much confusion (self-induced), I finally managed to get it
to compile and ended up with the contents of my folder
(rpcemu-0.9.3) appearing as in the attached image. 

The appearance of files for 0.9.3 is different to how they
appeared for 0.8.15 which I tried a couple of years ago. I
abandoned that version because of networking difficulties.

Despite looking like a text file (which I know it isn't) it
runs just fine when invoked with ./rpcemu-recompiler.
However, I don't want to have to go into the terminal every
time I want to run RISC OS. I made a link to the executable
(is that the right description in Linux?) and dragged it to
the desktop but it just asked me to choose a program to
start it. I couldn't see a likely candidate in the program
list so I backed out. Is there a way to run the program
from the desktop?
