TileCutter location on Linux

[MatthewForrester]

I am trying to install and run TileCutter on Linux, but so far without success.

Distro: Kubuntu 22.04
Python: 3.10.6
wxPython: wxpython-tools 4.0.7+dfsg-13build1
NumPy: python3-numpy 1.21.5-1ubuntu22.04.1

Based on the output below, TileCutter seem to have some assumptions about where it is installed and maybe that your Simutrans (user?) directory is in ~/Documents/Simutrans.

If you could mention in the installation instructions where TileCutter should be installed, then I will happily move it there.

Does it rely on the presence of files from Simutrans Standard to run? I only install Standard through Steam. If it needs those files in a certain place, then again it would be helpful to know.

EDIT: Actually, looking at the output more closely, I think that it may have been unable to handle a space in the path in the path to the installation directory.

Output of ./install.sh

chmod: cannot access '/mnt/house/linmanfu/Documents/Simutrans': No such file or directory
chmod: cannot access 'Development/tilecutter/TileCutter.desktop': No such file or directory`
Do you want a Start Menu item? (y/N) n

You can now run TileCutter by double-clicking the TileCutter
icon on the same directory of this installation file.

Output of running TileCutter shortcut:

Could not find the program '/mnt/house/linmanfu/Documents/Simutrans

(I'm not sure whether it was looking for Simutrans or whether it was thrown the fact that it was originally installed in a directory called "Simutrans Development", with a space in the directory name)
