That should be all that is required. Did you remember to compile the GSettings schema with glib-compile-schemas (and with an appropriate --targerdir)?
I do not have Easytag installed from the official Fedora repos. Only from Git. I will now install Easytag from the Fedora Repos and see what happens... As installed from the Fedora Repos, Easytag starts in all the ways that I said that it didn't in my original message on this subject...
Are there any logs from the application launcher when attempting to start EasyTAG? If EasyTAG fails to start, it should exit with an error code and log message, and if the launcher fails to find the binary, I would expect some logging output giving a hint as to what went wrong.
Adding the build location to $PATH seems incorrect. I would think we would not want to pollute the $PATH variable. EasyTag should install to a "default" location (/usr/bin or /usr/local/bin) which would then be picked up automatically. The *.desktop file is written with this in mind.
This is correct. The desktop file Exec key contains only "easytag %F", so it is expected that the easytag binary is installed into PATH. The configure script will, by default install into /usr/local, although a prefix of /usr is expected for distribution packages.
I suspect that giving a custom path to the build process is causing you issues.
This is probably true. It could be that the application launcher has a different environment to a terminal shell.
