What was expected
=================
Programs compiled using `gcc -o program program.c` should be runnable by
double-clicking them from a GUI file manager.
Compiling a simple program (`void main() { }`) using Xubuntu 16.04's
current version of `gcc` (`gcc version 5.4.0 20160609 (Ubuntu
5.4.0-6ubuntu1~16.04.2)`) produces the following output from
`/usr/bin/file program`:
- program: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV),
+ program: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV),
dynamically linked, interpreter /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2, for
GNU/Linux 2.6.32, BuildID[sha1]=signature_here, not stripped
This is correct behavior, allowing the executables to run from Nautilus
and Thunar.
What happened instead
=====================
Programs compiled using `gcc -o program program.c` are not runnable by
double-clicking them from a GUI file manager, even though they are
runnable from the terminal.
Compiling a simple program (`void main() { }`) using the current version
of `gcc` (`6.2.0 20161005 (Ubuntu 6.2.0-5ubuntu12)`) produces the
following output from `/usr/bin/file program`:
- program: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV),
+ program: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV),
dynamically linked, interpreter /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2, for
GNU/Linux 2.6.32, BuildID[sha1]=signature_here, not stripped
The program is also identified as a "shared library" instead of an
"executable" in Thunar, causing it to not be runnable from the GUI.
Others are unable to run such programs from Nautilus.
