How to make self compiled programs presistant

[schmo]

Hi all,

i compiled some programs by myself. Is there a way, to make them presistant so i can reboot or do i have to build an extension out of it?

I recommend making an extension.
The other option is to store them on the hard drive, but then you have to deal with pathing.

Also you could store your binaries at  ~/.local/bin/  and refresh your backup.
If they depend on files at e.g.  /usr/local/share/  you probably want to create extensions.

That would make your program take up room in the backup, slowing down both shutdown and boot.
It would also mean the application would consume space in the RAM filesystem instead of just occupying a symbolic link.

Hi!

If your application isn't in your home folder or if it is in any place that is not listed in the backup list, you should put it there to be backuped. But, as gerald_clark says, it will slow down you system on boot and shutdown depending on the size of your applications.

If you're using GUI, open the control-panel then  backup and then add your apps from there.
