Sources for shc is available so if its not already in repositories, it Can be compiled and used.

shc works.
But the compiled script suffers exactly the same ailments as the script itself, i.e. the launcher (lipstick I guess?) doesn't know that the script started, or that it finished, and just keeps spinning a waiting spinner for some time. It is not harmful, just not nice to look at.
I was wondering if it was possible to send the appropriate commands to the launcher (dbus???) via shell commands, or if I had to create a Silica wrapper around the script to get it to behave "nicely".

That said, is it possible to create a sort of Hello World Silica/QML program without having to install the complete SDK (on my desktop)?
