Panic over. Today I took a random meander around some of the snippets of
code I have collected over the last few years and actually managed to
assemble a GUI.
I now have a simple window with two pull down menus and three buttons.
Not exactly high tech but it will do the job perfectly for now.
Correct, my software is ready to roll, it is simply a case of knowing
where to install it to make it accessible. Should no better suggestions
be put forward I shall attempt to submit your solution and see if it
gets accepted.

My brain still hurts from figuring out everything I have done so far.
I'd rather not have to start again if I can at all help it. As you say
there will be a correct way to do this and I would hope that being
pointed to that correct way I would be able to do so with the tools I am
already using.

So how do you set a program up to accessed from anywhere as you would
expect to be able to use it?

There is no point in botching it to make it work as that's not really an
instruction I can expect anyone downloading it to have to follow.
Will the packaging moderators be happy with me installing to /usr/local?

The packaging tutorial ends with:
Basic DOs and Dont's for packaging for Commercial Applications
DOs
Please use /opt// as your application root directory
I have no idea if it is in $PATH but this is a stock install and I need
this to just work on a stock install.

With a little help from Paul Sladen I got it sorted thanks. My only
issue now is that the installed package only runs if you call it using
the full path /opt/cliftontestsuite/primetest. Just typing primetest an
any random location does not work. Is this by design or have I screwed up?

I'm saying that the guide steps you through packaging one example where
the work has already been done. Applying that to a fresh project is
impossible as it skips important steps that you need to know. It is not
possible for someone who has not done this before to follow the guide!

When following the guides for submitting it talks you through setting up
your system, then the content of the various files. Then it steps you
through downloading, compiling and submitting the hello program. However

Probably worth starting from the beginning and stopping when it gets

Ok, load the SDK, open a new project. Now I'm stuck. I just don't get
